My intention is to make functional art, creating work which generates emotion and thought, inviting for my objects to be used and cared for. I believe the combination of both functional and aesthetic values are the way to make someone fall in love with, and therefore continually use and value an object. Glass is such a diverse material with properties that enable one to create something long-lasting. It takes many resources to refine and work glass. But if we use it right, its durability and ability to be reused makes it very sustainable.

I am often inspired by the challenges we stumble upon and must face as part of being in this world.

Currently I work with the intention of bringing nature inside the home in the form of functional objects, in hope that the interaction will be a reminder of the importance of the environment. For us – but more so for all the other beings we share this earth with.
