I am a graduate of The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, with a concentration in Designed Objects and a heavy emphasis on Digital Fabrication.

 
 

My work can be described as play in the urban context. There is a common thread of a playful and interactive nature. I learn by the act of making and try to find excitement in all aspects of life.
