I grew up around craft. Not in a "curated Pinterest board" way, but the real, hands-in-materials, this-took-someone-weeks-to-make way. This is probably why I still can’t look at a chair without wondering how it was built before I notice what it looks like.

That instinct followed me through a BID in Industrial Design at Pratt, a semester at Chelsea College of Arts in London, and a career across Mexico City, Venice, and New York, picking up a slightly different design language in each place.
