What do you want people to do or feel when encountering your creations?
To feel a relationship with the shapes and textures beyond the immediate function of the object.
How do your pieces come to life?
Through curiosity, exploration, and no fear of perfection or failure. I am always open to the possibility of creating any object in any field of design.
What funny moments, obstacles, or surprises have you encountered as a creator?
FUNNY MOMENTS: My obsession for making molds and finding a new silhouette, as well as the use of new clay and glazes. Today my mood board uses 1/3 of my studio, I can’t get enough.
UNEXPECTED: My favorite moment is when a piece breaks while we are trimming or sponging, a new product will come to life from the suggested new broken shape.
OBSTACLE: Time and space
What motivates and inspires you?
Sunny days, nature, and young people with ideas.
What makes a space special?
Good people, good vibrations.
