Inspired by a childhood spent outdoors; he makes functional pots to celebrate the best moments in life, relish in our daily rituals, console us in our tumultuous days, and commune with our fellow humans.

He creates work in which the functionality of a piece is enhanced by its aesthetic and tactile qualities.
