Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do. I am an artist and a furniture designer living in southern CA. I work with wood, metal, copper, marble, resins and all different materials to make different artwork and furniture pieces. My art is all on sheet metal and I use all different paints, patinas and acids and finish each piece with an epoxy topcoat. Each piece is inspired by nature, whether it be the patterns, textures or colors that I see while traveling. I recently made a zine showing the intersection of my inspiration between nature and the art that I create, you can find it here.

What are some recent, upcoming or current projects you are working on? I just finished some new furniture designs that I am really excited about. A geometric table, called the Haack table, which is named after one of my good friends. I am doing small production on these, and am really excited on how they are being received. Also, I have some new tables that are out of Italian marble that I am really excited about.

How did your interest in art or design begin? My background is in apparel design but I have always made things with my hands, even my own clothes. My dad was an artist mostly working in stained glass and lighting, and I learned a lot from him growing up. After working only on a computer for several years, I really was yearning to make things with my own 2 hands and left apparel design to fully focus on artwork.

What materials do you use in your work and what is your process like? I am constantly playing around with new materials, and exploring what I can do with them. I dont want to be pigeon-holed into just one category. My process is very organic, always evolving, and is based off of my curiosity. I am an insatiably curious person.
