I currently reside in the mountainous Asheville, North Carolina. I'm doing freelance design and woodworking until the pandemic is over.
As an industrial designer, my goal is to integrate technology with design.
Light and movement have an immense impact, as light itself is a very
unique medium— people connect to it in a deep and emotional way.
Technology allows me to manipulate this light and control it in a specific
way.
Though it might not be initially apparent, nature is a big influence as well,
deeply intrigued by the organized chaos of nature. As an artist, I try to
capture this with my work.
We, as a community, judge design/art based on how we relate to it and/or
its relevance to modernity. It’s because of this that user interaction is
such a valuable tool; it instantly allows viewers to connect. I manipulate
this by making my work infinitely reprogramable, rearranging in order to
fit modern issues. I take time to make my work scalable, allowing my
designs to adapt to the space. The scale of the piece alters the emotion
you receive from it. A single piece can be mechanical, limited in motion,
whereas a group of pieces tends to have a more organic feel.
