After studying furniture design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), I’ve settled back in the Chicago area where I practice furniture and industrial design. My objects challenge perceptions of what designed objects can be, and are driven by working with existing material technologies in unconventional ways. I often work with 2-d designs, models and full-scale construction side by side. Blurring these boundaries allows me to work quickly and intuitively within my development process.

Most of my work right now falls into the furniture category, but I have an active interest in many aspects of design. When I’m not building furniture or developing products I’m usually working on model sailplanes, reading about cars or sipping a beer.
