Throwing porcelain on the potters wheel. I've been on hiatus for a while, but will be returning to making more work this year.

Throwing porcelain on the potters wheel circa 2006

A college roommate brought home a handful of pottery from her ceramics class, and something in me shifted. I enrolled in the next course and quickly fell in love with the alchemy of clay—turning earth into forms meant to be held, used, and lived with.

That early infatuation never really left. Working in clay became a practice of labor, service, and connection—a way of being both present and behind the scenes, shaping quiet experiences that people carry into their everyday lives.

Working in clay taught me lessons I’ve carried into every chapter of my career: patience, structure, experimentation, and the desire to create something that serves others. That early studio practice still informs how I build programs, communities, and spaces today: hands-on, attentive, and rooted in service.
