Lightness Chair







2008

Taking material inspiration from the warmth and lightness of Scandinavian architecture, this chair balances soft surface and hard surface, volume and line, and re-shapes the traditional form of a chair both functionally and sculpturally.  The materials include solid cherry legs, a birch seat with cherry veneer, steel hardware, and cotton jersey upholstery.
(Height: 40” Width: 56” Depth: 20”)

  

Blocks Ring




2008

This ring depicts a map of a childhood neighborhood, combining the technical aspects of cartography with the emotion of memory. It is hand-crafted in silver and has a hollow band.

ThankYou ThankYou ThankYou Chair







2008 

This chair's legs are made out of 100% recyclable HDPE and LDPE (polyethylene film) bags.  They were constructed in a heat compressing process, and because there are no glues or additives, they can be easily removed and recycled.  The chair back is made from vacuum bent birch, and the hardware is custom made.

Kids' Chair




2008
A playful shape inspired by the movements of children.  Made from vacuum molded plywood with no fasteners or hardware.  

Hand-held Mixer



2008 

Using SolidWorks, this appliance was designed to decrease wrist strain and provide the function of multiple appliances in one single, compact tool.

Dining Table



2008 

These are concept boards for a dining table with carved place settings. Dishes and utensils fit perfectly in place, referencing classical table manners.

Blueberry





A user-group profile



2008 
This berry packaging and point-of-purchase display is geared towards engaging and educating children about healthy eating habits.  The two-part packaging can be reused as a sippy-cup, bowl, portable container or toy.  In the act of "picking" the blueberry from the display tree, kids get a better idea of where their food comes from.

Light Bulb



2007  

In this shade, the iconic shape of the lightbulb is a gentle reminder of energy consumption.
