I worked in restaurants for over 15 years. Throughout that time, I was fueled by a desire to provide people with a genuine connection and an experience that left them feeling something meaningful. The service industry demands constant adaptability; you need the ability to multitask, stay composed under pressure, and, at times, lead a team that looks to you for guidance. All of these qualities translate seamlessly into the world of product design where I’m driven to offer that same level of care and attention through my work. Above all, I bring experience, intention, and a deep respect for the people who will live with the things I create.
