Whats the most important thing you’ve learned about design so far?
I believe it’s important to cultivate a wide range of experiences, explore a multitude of cultures, and most of all listen to your intuition. People experience the world through design so, as a designer, I feel it’s up to us to help make these experiences meaningful in some way.

What should prospective employers/clients know about you and your work?
Being sincere is important to me, and I try to have that come through in what I do.  I love to take the time to really craft something, and work with my hands whenever I can. I’m always interested in the stories behind things,  and the possibility of discovering some other world.

Is there anything else we should know about you?
I  keep a sketchbook for various things I hear or think about. Maybe it will become of some use at some point. I like listening to records and jam out to some ELO and Pink Floyd every so often. I also try to keep a little collection of random ephemera going, gathering books and old pieces of design that are beautiful in their own way.
