Objects & Spaces
I'm a versatile designer, from the table-top to the room itself, I aim to work creatively within constraints. Renderings and physical models are powerful design tools and communicate my intent to my clients. I am open for business, freelance and consulting for furniture design & interiors. I will always gladly consider engaging and challenging full-time positions.
