The visual language of sports has heavily influenced my work: white lines on a field, patterns cut into the grass, and the uniforms/colors of my favorite teams can often be found in my work.

I LOVE my job. Working in an academic setting has been a game-changer for my studio practice. I hide it pretty well, but I am a very competitive person, so being surrounded by young students and professors that are making new, innovative work at a break-neck speed really gets me pumped to work in the studio… I don’t want to fall behind.
