As a designer, you have the possibility to affect the world at both a large and small scale. It is a thought that is as exciting just as it is frightening. I do want to create a large impact on the world, yet when I leave it, I don't want deep footprints left behind. That whatever I design, isn't left for those after me to clean up, or dispose of.

​

With that in mind, I believe it is my duty as a designer to design responsibly, keeping the entire lifecycle of the products I create in mind. To be constantly observant of the current systems we have in place and to design and implement sustainable alternatives where they are needed. And lastly, to be observant and to voice the needs of those with disabilities when designing new experiences and products.

​

Choosing to commit my designs to be sustainable, ethical, and altruistic will position my work for the emerging residential market demands. What keeps me going is my profound passion to design furniture that responds to the changing needs of how we live and work at home. Designing furniture is the perfect harmony between my love of fine art and utilitarian function as well as performing as a platform to promote sustainability.

​

I find inspiration in unordinary places as a creative challenge that can lead to truly unique designs with unique stories. I personally love to gain inspiration from past historical periods, fashion throughout the ages, philosophical theories, and even music. Because I look, acknowledge, and take inspiration from the past, I can learn from the mistakes and triumphs of others to better design for our future
