About Me
I'm a maker based in Alberta, Canada. I'm inspired by Chinese culture, Art Nouveau and music. The materials I work with are mainly hard woods, sterling silver, and gems.
The ideas behind my work are related to human experiences, where the contrast between calm and chaos could be extreme. Subtlety and secrecy are ingrained into my pieces, so that viewers may interact with them and discover hidden narratives.
