CURRENT MISSION

to make things and appreciate the world and people around me

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the woods outside of Athens, Ohio. After Highschool I had no idea what to pursue. I ended up studying architecture almost by chance, but it opened my eyes to the design and helped me look at the world around me with a greater appreciation. It also allowed me to travel, I have lived and worked in San Francisco and Brooklyn and studied in Copenhagen. I am living in Cincinnati Ohio and loving it. The city has a tight community full of some amazing people and places. Now, Im in the process of starting a design company with a couple friends. We love designing and making things.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy trying to better my self through school, conversations, travel, and new and familiar experiences. I believe that you can learn from everything and I do my best to try and see the lessons.
