On the weekdays I teach middle school science. In the evenings and on weekends, I'm creating and playing with clay. My first pottery home was Clay Arts Vegas 2014 - 2015. Later I joined Echo Art Studio in LA 2016 - 2023, and now NW Pottery Collective in Seattle where I teach beginner wheel and private parties.

I first fell in love with pottery in high school taking a ceramics elective class. Watching advanced students throw was witnessing magic! I've been playing with clay for about 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 my creations.
