My work centers on making useful, lasting objects from materials that are often overlooked, discarded, or considered expendable. I work with natural fibers, recycled metals, plant materials, and found resources—choosing what is already available before seeking something new.

This practice has taken many forms over time: handmade bittersweet baskets, brooms bound from broomcorn, hand-hammered metal bowls, metal and beaded jewelry, and functional pieces like plant hangers and dog leashes made from jute or cotton rope. Each object is shaped slowly, with attention to material limits, durability, and use.

Working this way is both practical and intentional. Using what might otherwise be wasted reduces excess, lowers cost, and asks more of the maker—not in speed or volume, but in patience, creativity, and care. Constraints become part of the process, guiding design choices and encouraging a deeper relationship with the materials at hand.

These pieces are not meant to be precious. They are meant to be handled, worn, used, repaired, and lived with—quiet reminders that resourcefulness and attention can be enough.
