Artist Statement

Design is about organization. It takes careful planning and execution to convey an experience or idea to someone. I have always enjoyed organizing things, and it excites me to find various solutions. In this way Design has become not only something I do, but it is part of who I am.

I aim to enjoy the experience of design itself, and wish to see others enjoy it as well. I am very accepting of people, and their points of view. This helps me understand how an audience might think or react to particular messages or images.

Artist Statement

Design is a way to create and express myself when words seem to fail. I am a woman of few words. Being able to take what I am feeling and then use it to create work makes me passionate about graphic design. I design to help others see their vision. My work is how I love to express my voice. When words fail, design takes over.

I am a vessel maker. The primary foci of my work are design and utility. Using both high-fired porcelain and low-fire earthenware, I strive to make simple forms that demonstrate restraint and good craftsmanship. I believe that through simplicity, my pottery is strengthened and beautified.

To decorate my porcelain, I use a technique known as shellac resist. When I apply shellac to bone dry clay, I am able to use water to etch away layers of clay resulting in a three dimensional surface. My design choices are driven by a pursuit of balance between form and surface. Using hydro-abrasion allows me to reference the process of erosion. I also fire in atmospheric kilns as a way to show process and give my work its own identity.

My earthenware surfaces are comprised of commercial glazes and underglazes. In order to achieve color and texture, and to manage the outcome, I apply slips and glazes, firing multiple times. Combining layers of these materials I am able to achieve a surface that looks worn or aged. I am interested in this patina like surface and how it gives vitality to my vessels. The use of geometric patterns adds contrast and dynamics to my work.

My intent is that through referencing the natural process of time and its resulting effect on ceramic objects, my work may also stand the test of time. My hope is that my work can communicate to the viewer a captivating and quiet conversation.

As a designer I thrive off the struggle of developing the perfect balance of elements to achieve the best possible end result. I have always been drawn to problem solving, and design has proven to be the most difficult problem to solve yet. Every project brings forth new challenges and things I have yet to consider. I approach projects with equal consideration for function and aesthetics, because in the end I am not just an artist; I am a communicator and problem solver.

Artist Statement

I create designs that are clean and simple. I hope to evoke emotion and experience through masterful use of typography, simple illustration and my knowledge of composition.

I wake up each morning and design because I love it. I find solutions to problems through creative means, and being around other creative people every day is something I never get tired of. I love exchanging ideas. I am fueled by nature, people and my appetite for a well-designed life.

Artist Statement

My work is focus, professional, and playful. I am passionate about design and I love when the opportunity arises for me to express my passion through a new project. I seek inspiration from all around me; beautiful typography on a poster, a brand new website, to unique packaging design.

I strive to design things that have an interesting composition but are also simplistic and clean. I also love when I am pushed outside my comfort zone, by doing this I hope to expand my creativity and create new experiences. Designing makes me genuinely happy and it is a great feeling to be able to spend each day doing what I love.
