There are several forces that drive me to create. At the core is a need to work with tools and materials to give shape to beautiful objects. Part of this is pure ego. I want to be the one to give form to the objects around me rather than leaving the job to others. Another part is the challenge that comes with each project, both aesthetically and practically. There is something immensely satisfying about building an item that functions perfectly, while also delighting the senses of those who interact with it.
Finally, I want to leave a mark on history, to make enduring objects that speak of life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. I strive to build pieces that are of the highest quality and whose design reflects my own aesthetic in what I hope is a manner that fits within the continuing evolution of art and design.
