Familiar forms, thoughtfully reimagined.

I started this studio shortly after graduating from university. Like many new graduates, I spent months trying to figure out what came next. After half a year of searching for work, I decided to stop waiting for the right opportunity and build something of my own.

That decision became the beginning of everything I make today.

From the beginning, I wanted to create objects that felt genuinely original. Rather than repeating what already exists, I’m interested in reimagining familiar forms through clay. A fortune cookie, a turnip, or a small vase can all become something unexpected while still feeling familiar.

I believe every object carries a story. Sometimes it’s playful, sometimes it’s personal, and sometimes it’s simply found in the way an object is used. At the same time, I believe functional ware should remain functional. If I make a vase, it should hold flowers beautifully. If I make a mug, it should feel comfortable in your hands. Story and function should never compete. They should complement one another.

Every piece is designed and handmade in my Waterloo, Ontario studio.
