My work jumps between worlds. Past and present. Digital and physical. Engineered and hand-crafted.

Having grown up in the varied terrains of California - next to the beach and in the shadows of mountains - landscapes and place are prevalent in my practice. I use 3D modeling software to make sculptural wall tiles inspired by the landscapes and places that are key to my identity. The digital tiles are then translated into clay, each one individually press moulded by hand. Through this process I investigate how identity is shaped by place, nostalgia, memory and feeling.

I see an ongoing shift within ceramic craft - a push to merge with different technologies. Through the entire making process, and later combinations with graphic embellishments, be it projected moving image, digital ceramic image, or drawn image, I position my work firmly in this conversation. Although the tiles come from the same moulds, the subtleties of the hand still comes through in the final works.

I am a Los Angeles born, London based ceramic artist. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BSE in Mechanical Engineering and Minor in Art/Design. As an engineer I’ve worked for companies like Autodesk, Ford, Tesla, and Google while always feeding my passion for ceramics on the side.

In 2024 I decided to move to the UK for an MA in Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art. Eight weeks into the program I had a traumatic cycling accident which left me unable to physically make for 6 months. This incident forced me out of the studio but led me back to a place I was familiar; in front of my computer making forms digitally. Once recovered and back in the studio I took these forms into clay which is now the technical basis of my practice.
