color into our lives.
My Creative Approach
My creative approach is shaped by the fusing of traditional and contemporary crafts, material exploration, and purposeful concepts. By prioritizing craftsmanship, materials, and clarity, I ensure that each project reflects my values long before any saw meets material.
Considerate Craftsmanship
I value learning various trades, such as carpentry and printmaking, in my art practice. This ongoing development allows me to work with materials, letting their unique characteristics guide how they are modified. My work spans multiple mediums, as each material reveals its potential for new forms and purposes.
Bold Simplicity & Functional Design
I aim for each design project to convey a clear narrative and purpose, focusing on bold, intentional choices. Simplicity allows me to create without overthinking, emphasizing impactful colors, strong typography, and natural textures. This direct approach streamlines my creative process, while also making it easier for others to engage with my work.
Exploration Triggered Inspiration
Using common and found materials pushes me to experiment with how they can compliment each other. This experimental approach opens up possibilities, allowing for the discovery of each material's full potential. Every experiment, regardless of its relevance to current projects, generates ideas for future work, creating a continuous flow of inspiration.
