About

I define my work through a generative process thats grows directly from the individual contexts of people, places, and things and the forces that push and pull on them. At each stage of this process, at each level of the design — my work is guided by a minute-by-minute necessity of care for the life that exists at every moment within an experience. My aim is to foster healthy, whole, and self-maintaining worlds that allow the life inside a person to flourish openly.
