DESCRIPTION OF ART: “Hardwood Anatomy” laser cut stained wood
Though trained as a mechanical engineer, art has always been at the center of my life. My background spans engineering, glassblowing, and web development — experiences that continue to shape how I think about structure, material, and innovation in my work.
Before committing fully to my artistic practice, I explored photography, wood, ceramics, glass, and paint. That experimentation built the foundation for my multidisciplinary approach, where technical precision meets material curiosity.
Born and raised in Encinitas, California, and now based in Tempe, Arizona, the environments I’ve called home continue to influence my work — blending thoughtful design with a deep connection to place.
