i am a designer and visual artist working in the american midwest. my work explores methods for display, armatures for presentation, and exhibition fixtures & furniture.

my current efforts include tables and platforms designed for the considered placement of objects/artifacts, as well as a series of interactive sculptural works that challenge the conventions of art & object viewing.

my design and art works are intended to be engaging products that aid and examine contemporary collecting and viewing.
