About

Bio

I grew up with my pockets full of Lego and a head full of ideas. Playful creation helped me imagine a world in which I could build anything. In my approach to design, I strive towards creativity, innovation and uniqueness, while valuing the natural environment and all people.

Design Manifesto
  • Design with childlike enthusiasm and playfulness
  • DIY everything at least once
  • Make your own tools and implements
  • Learn how to give constructive criticism
  • Learn how to receive and value criticism (even if it isn’t constructive)
  • Embrace mistakes
  • Give back to your community
  • To be continued…
