Hobbies & Interests

Photography

35mm film, mostly. Capturing moments between moments. The grain and imperfection of analog processes. Currently shooting with a Leica M6 and experimenting with expired film stocks.

Ceramics

Hand-thrown vessels. The meditation of the wheel. Creating functional objects with presence. Working primarily with stoneware and exploring Japanese glazing techniques.

Running

Early morning routes through Griffith Park and downtown LA. Movement as a form of thinking. Training for presence rather than performance.

Architecture

Studying spaces and their emotional resonance. How environment shapes experience. Particularly drawn to brutalist and minimalist structures.

Typography

The subtle art of letterforms. Collecting specimens. Understanding the voice of typefaces. Currently obsessed with Swiss modernist type design.

Cooking

Japanese and Mediterranean influences. Simplicity through quality ingredients. The ritual of daily bread making.
