I am a 25 year old designer originally from the west/midwest region of the United States. My educational background is in Architecture and Design.

In 2021 I took a step back to consolidate my interests, seeing what really mattered to me. What came to be was a practice rooted in spacial and philosophical based design. I belief that perspective builds structure, not only your physical relation to an object but your lived experience dictates how you will interpret and derive meaning from it.

Drawing from my career in Architecture I borrowed ideas about, form/function, silhouette, materiality to inform a line of furniture that embodied my core values and beliefs. Constant change, congruency, reduction, mindfulness, embodied experience, and ownership.

Ownership and functionality is something that can not be assigned by the designer but derived and directed from the end user of the object. Every time an object or space is used it reinvents what it can be or represent.

Inspired by the geography of the American west were I grew up, my work reflects the powerful forms of rugged mountains and vast swaths of empty plains. I began to pair this with my fascination of design from around the world finding a commonality in clean Nordic minimalism and Japanese ideas of embracing natural cycles.

Today I see furniture as one step of a larger goal in redefining the space around us. I am working to integrate this into my architectural practice to create spaces that have an impact of those that inhabit them. I think often of the German term gesamtkunstwerk or total work of art, describing an immersive creative work that spans multiple mediums from architecture, furniture, typography, sound design, and drama into a congruent whole.

in an era of constant stimulation and overwhelming access to media, our homes, these spaces that are so precious to us offer shelter and relief from the noise. simplicity gives us moments to breathe and think clearly, enriching our own thoughts. this furniture creates spaces for ideas and cherished objects to collect, giving a stage to what we value most. the aesthetic focuses on form, shadow, and proportion. each piece explores structure and silhouette to create small moments that allow us to slow down and recenter.

spaces that ground and calm us are increasingly rare. we seek to revitalize a connection to the natural world through form and materiality. we are inspired by the flatness of ever expanding plains, the rawness of unfinished surfaces, and the passage of time embedded in materials like plywood, concrete, and clay. reductive in form but layered with ideals and philosophy offering something just below the surface.
