I admire artful details and respect the knowledge and craft necessary to mold, shape and assemble materials. I often find myself trying my own hand at these skills that sometimes lead to failure, but more importantly, an appreciation for the intricacies. Through this curiosity and desire to understand, I have developed a sensible and logical mindset of design problem solving. I strive to implement ideas in organized and thoughtful processes that result in unique and resourceful solutions.
