I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, in a family of artists, makers, and modernists, and studied Industrial Design at RISD. I’ve been drawn to the overlap of ornament and utility —design that honors its lineage but leaves room for invention.
Over the past two decades, I’ve partnered with major retailers, manufacturers, and emerging brands to build assortments, refine systems, and bring products to market. I’ve led teams, shaped development workflows, and used real-world constraints as a structural tool for more intentional solutions.
I move fluidly between digital tools and handcraft, each informing the other. Years of collaboration with factories in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. taught me what it takes to get ideas made well at scale. A long view of global retail keeps me grounded in how products actually live in the market.
In my studio, I explore work that doesn't need to scale – where ornament and utility can be reinterpreted. I also grow flowers —another way of studying color, form, and cycles of making.
