I am a part-time fabricator, part-time winemaker, and full time thinker, tinkerer, and artist. I am interested in collaborating to create beautiful and functional objects. I enjoy working on a broad range of projects, including sailboat and bicycle parts, furniture, commercial space design, and sewing. Of particular interest is re-imagining old materials and objects. I have a B.S. from Stanford University and I volunteer regularly at the Crucible, a non-profit Industrial Arts School in West Oakland, California.

I graduated from The Evergreen State College in 2005 with an emphasis in Urban Studies. Upon graduation I moved to New York City to work for an architecture firm that specialized in refugee housing made out of recycled shipping pallets. From there, I went on to work with a variety of non-profits whose goals were to link design, community and education. These included The Center for Urban Pedagogy, The Riverside Park Fund, and a Post-Katrina Design/Build trip with Designcorps that provided experimental relief structures to refugees from the hurricane. In the summer of '08 I interned at Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Vermont where I studied woodworking, natural building, sustainable design and carpentry. Currently I teach woodworking at The Crucible. I am also a teaching resident with San Francisco Public Schools where I teach architecture to 5th graders. My primary interest is engaging design on a variety of scales including urban planning, living structures and furniture.
