Artist Statement:

I am a designer exploring everyday objects' potential to alter an individual’s daily life. I design to create an individual experience, a noted moment in time. I work in an interactive design process, integrating ergonomic and psychologic research into my designs. My process involves a repeating cycle of designing, making models, refining designs and digitally rendering. By exploring ideas through two dimensional drawings, rendering in a digitally three dimensional space and building models in a three dimensional and tangible existence I obtain a thorough understanding of my designs. I design furniture to present opportunities for emotional connection between object and person to enhance the day to day experience of life.
