As a kid, I surgically dismantled nearly every new toy I received instead of playing with it, just to understand how it worked and see if I could put it back together. The results were mixed. The trajectory was not.
I got my start in graphic design before studying architecture in the U.S. and Italy. That eventually led to co-founding Graypants in 2008 and helping grow it into an international design studio and product brand with studios in Seattle and Amsterdam. Today, as Creative Director at Mory, I shape the company’s product, brand, and creative direction while helping build how the business grows and makes things.
The thread through all of it is simple: I love finding the idea at the center of something, understanding why it matters, and giving it a form that, in some small way, makes the world better.
I’m a creative director and designer working across environments, products, and brands. I’ve spent my career turning ideas into things people can see, touch, use, and connect with.
Architectural Thinker
Architecture is where I learned to zoom out and back in, sometimes in the same breath. I still find myself thinking about everything from the biggest context to the smallest detail, and how all those pieces come together to make something feel right.
Product Designer
There's something incredibly satisfying about taking a loose idea and making it real. Sketching, experimenting, prototyping, refining, and occasionally discovering that the thing you thought would work absolutely doesn't.
Creative Leader
My favorite moments have happened around a table with people figuring something out together. I love bringing different perspectives into the conversation, finding the thread that connects them, and helping a good idea become a shared one.
Curious Maker
I've never been particularly good at leaving things alone. Whether I'm sketching, modeling, photographing, building, or just figuring something out, I like getting my hands into the work. Curiosity has always been a pretty good excuse to try something new.
