I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada and moved to New York after completing graduate studies in Canada and the Netherlands. I have a strong appreciation for functional and simple design, an appreciation that reflects my belief that our private and shared spaces have an intimate connection to our sense of balance and our mood - too much clutter and confusion doesn't only look wrong, it feels wrong. I find Scandinavian design simplicity and purity truly inspiring and it motivates me to create objects and spaces that I feel casually engage us, yet clearly offer up their function and utility. I am a recent graduate of Parsons School of Design, and currently design for pleasure and my own personal sense of balance.
