People-Centered Design

“…design everything on the assumption that people are not heartless or stupid but marvellously capable, given the chance.”

In The Middle Of The Night

“Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. 
The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.”

Artists & Studios

I grew up tagging along with my mother as she interviewed artists all over the world and have always felt at home in an art studio. 


I work wherever I can, from my kitchen table to the couch to collective spaces (ceramics).... 


One of my greatest dreams will have come true when I have my own space in which to make wonderful things from scratch. 


Meanwhile, I've created this growing board on Pinterest to provide buckets of inspiration.
