MY CORE VALUES
CURIOSITY
True curiosity is seeking to experience and understand all that life has to offer. We are defined by the experiences we have lived and pushed forward by those we hope to have.
PURPOSE
We all have a function in life. The thing we are made to do that contributes, innovates, and moves the world forward. And all the choices we make are dictated by this purpose. Products should have a purpose, and that purpose should be represented by its design.
FUN
Life is short. Fun, lightheartedness, and humor are the match sticks for hope. Design is an extrodinary way to remind people to have fun.
AESTHETICS
Take pride in the way we look. It communicates who you are and what you represent. It's attitude.
SUSTAINABILITY
People. Profit. Planet. The future matters.
PERSPECTIVE
An over saturation of comfort has left society ill-adapted for conflict, challenge, and hardship, fostering a culture plagued by modern disease and stagnation. While it is human nature to gravitate toward simplicity, true growth emerges only when we confront obstacles. Tension becomes a catalyst for transformation.
Ironically, our relentless pursuit of ease has distanced us from the raw, transformative power of hardship. My designs facilitate an attraction to challenge by harnessing our innate draw to functional simplicity. From a purely performance-driven perspective, my creations emerge directly from my own experiences of discomfort, establishing firsthand credibility. However, I also explore a more artistic approach by embracing the playful irony of drawing aesthetic inspiration from these same challenges—both approaches celebrating the transformative power of hardship.
