About
My grandparents lived in a three-room flat where every object had to earn its place. That's still how I think about design: small spaces, honest materials, and things that are easy to fix.
I like going from conversations to cardboard quickly, and I make a lot of ugly prototypes on the way. Most of my projects start with someone I know, because watching a real person use something tells you more than any brief.
Off the workshop floor I do pottery on Saturdays and keep a small collection of old kitchen tools.
