Me ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

My work is the embodiment of my background as a student of design and environmental studies. I utilize various subjects and mediums to explore the dynamic relationship between humans and their environments, and how design can alter areas of this dynamic. I use design as a means of deconstructing our perceptions of ‘environment’ and expanding our current definitions of it. Seeing as we exist within our world, rather than apart from it, it is vital to further develop our understanding of our place in it. The best way I know to do this is by examining how we interact with the world through design.

My process is research-intensive; the design of my pieces is informed by the scientific and creative research I conduct beforehand. I try to emphasize the conceptual aspect of my work, exposing the principles and goals behind each product I create, letting them guide the outcomes.

I work in both digital and hand-made mediums. My experience includes digital and hand-drawn animation, 3D rendering using Rhino and Blender, collage, 3D printing, papermaking, woodworking, silicone and plaster molding, film, and DAWless audio production.
