I’m a Portland born artist and designer in the last year of my Product Design degree at the University of Oregon. Through my work I explore the intersections of utility and artistic expression, creating objects that engage with our daily rituals. I aim to enhance these little moments to bring comfort, joy, curiosity, and mindfulness to those who experience my work. I create in many mediums, including wood, ceramic, fibers, and digital modeling, however, I consider ceramics to be my primary artistic practice.

Ceramics for me is an especially meditative process; my philosophy and my mindfulness practice are influenced more and more by my ceramics practice with each day. The medium has taught me a lot about patience, acceptance, and growth. I translate these lessons into my daily life as often as I can, and I’ve found myself happier because of it.
