Making stuff
Although I’d never admit this to my parents, their adamant refusal to allow access to television growing up may have helped make me the creative I am now.
Both of my parents are architects, and thus form, exacting measurements, exploration and experimentation of physical spaces were major drivers for them. For me it was scale. World-building was accessible and infinite if you just made it small enough. Heavily inspired by the HO train sets of my Grandfather’s, my 1’-12” dollhouse and the many scale models displayed at my parents’ architectural offices, I was hooked from a very early age.
Producing fine objects and spaces in different scales in loving detail, and playing with alternative or unusual materials, is my favorite activity.
My early career in scale model-building expanded beyond architecture to a love of the technology and tools of production. A self-taught jewler and 3D modeller, I began a love-affair with 3D printing and the open-source technology of the ‘Maker’ movement. A masters degree at ITP at NYU taught me to incorporate more user-generated design principles and interactive technology, all of which I have used in every role since.
I am an ultra-organized lover of process, tools, precision and practical magic. I make effective things.
