welcome.

i am a sociologist and designer. I've been thinking about what it means to experience being human my entire life.

I believe that the objects we live with, the spaces we inhabit, and the brands we choose are quietly shaping who we become — and I build with that truth at the center of everything.

I'm a sociologist and a designer. Those two things have always been the same practice for me — one asks how the material world constructs the self, the other does something about it. That's led me across a lot of terrain: clothing, interiors, objects, brands, digital products. The through line has never been a category. It's always been the question.

I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area.
