I believe that creativity is essential to human flourishing. My passion for design requires engagement of my heart, soul, mind, and strength, all aspects of what makes me human. In my work, I identify the things that I find to be moving and beautiful through emotional response to the natural and created world. The purpose of my work is to capture and reflect this spiritual response in a material medium, to share the same wonder and reverence with the audience of my work. I examine human creativity and engage in what I believe it to be at its core: loving others through the expression of thoughts, emotions, and beauty to the highest degree of my ability.
