I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, in a family steeped in art, craft, and modernist ideals, and studied Industrial Design at RISD. I’ve always been drawn to the overlap of ornament and utility —design that belongs as much to history as it does to what comes next.
I’ve worked with major brands and independent teams to build assortments, rethink systems, and bring products to market. Along the way, I’ve led and mentored design teams, shaping workflows that balance imagination with real-world constraints — using parameters as scaffolding for inventive solutions.
I move 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 exploring color, form, and cycles of making.
