My philosophy for life says you should be active, inquisitive and conscious. My designs are messengers for this philosophy. I am fascinated by how different parts work together, I appreciate materials that present themselves honestly and simple mechanisms that perform a clear task; Understanding the way things work is an invitation to make them your own.
