Designing objects, details, gizmos and gadgets is quite simply my favorite thing — its the best. Winding my way through iterations, possible solutions, sketches, materials and prototypes is like unwrapping a present. Sometimes you don’t know what the present will be in the end but as you rip at the paper it comes into view. The process is the goal. To communicate 3d details effectively, graphics are essentials. I lump the two together because creating great objects must be explained to an investor or end user through media — before they have the object. So for that purpose I also like to focus on graphics that communicate purpose well.
I have worked for many years designing spaces, structures, and architectural experiences. I am always guided by a simple question — how will people best navigate this space, and how will they enjoy their time here the most?
I have been an exhibiting artist for the past 15 years. My work is primarily figurative and focuses on narratives and stories I want to tell through fixed images. How exactly can you communicate an intricate story with a single image?
From welding to 3d printing, creating in three dimensions allows me the chance to process, translate, and interact with the physical world that I experience daily — I enjoy that process immensely.
With photography, I enjoy influencing the scenes I photograph. I often set up a scenario with inks or fluid mediums to photograph as I observe the scene evolving and changing moment by moment.
I am an exhibiting artist, designer, and project manager with over a decade of design experience in art, graphics, industrial design, architecture/engineering. My background in fine arts emphasizes a strong aesthetic foundation, while my technical employment experience brings precision and functionality to my designs. Bringing harmony to form and function, like any solid designer, is my goal and what I hope to achieve with each new design challenge I take on.
