About

By contributing my energy & ever growing talents to honest work I aim to make my lasting mark in a way which positively impacts the planet & sparks an emotional reaction in viewers. My design philosophy is quite simple: I devoutly subscribe to Dieter Rams' ten principles of good design & honor form simultaneously with function. I look to the golden past as well as my natural surroundings for inspiration in my creative ventures. By being open to new methods & materials I've carved a niche for myself in being malleable & able to paint a succinct picture across multiple platforms.
