About
Hi there!
I'm a eurasian product designer based in New York City and Toronto. My goal is to create a new generation of household heirlooms and design with recycled materials in an elevated context. I focus on sustainability through an application of traditional craft. I take pride in creating for the people I love, in hopes of improving their day-to-day experience with everyday things.
