On the weekdays I teach middle school science during the day =). In the evenings and on the weekends, I'm creating and playing with clay. My first pottery home was at Clay Arts Vegas 2014 - 2015. Later I joined Echo Art Studio in LA 2016 - 2023, and now Seward Park Clay Studio in Seattle.

I first fell in love with pottery in high school taking a ceramics class. Watching advanced students throw was like watching someone do magic. I've been playing with clay for almost 10 years now, and it still feels like magic.

Pottery is a space for me to focus my mind, explore new ideas, learn from failure, and challenge myself. I created this website to keep records of most of my creations.

Thank you for visiting!
