About

I am a designer because it is how I experience the world and when I am not designing I feel cut off from who I am. My imagination and creativity are central to my understanding, engagement with, and response to the world around me.

I design because I don't know how else to be. As a designer I always seek to bring greater harmony into the relationships between peoples' needs, desires, values and wants with the objects they choose to have in their lives.
