My foundation in traditional modes of art making will always inform my practice as a designer and creative thinker.

I think that the simplicity and limitations of traditional tools can be freeing as a designer, as they encourage greater thoughtfulness about composition, form, light and color.

I think that as we increasingly rely on automation and digital tools as designers, implementation of tactile artmaking, and showing off the unique touch of the human hand will result in the most unique and empathetic design.
