I’m an artist, graphic designer and art director in Los Angeles.
My art practice combines photography, design and mixed media. In this moment of techno-optimism, I am inspired to make spectacles from unassuming and unexpected materials. The images generated by the multi-billion dollar James Webb telescope are sublime, but are they anything more?
Using handmade and mechanical processes, I construct images from humble resources. I am drawn to found objects and images (marbles, technical diagrams, aquarium pebbles, stickers, marionette puppets, enamel bowls…) and household items (food coloring, cardboard, terrariums, safety-pins, straw…). I stage these kitchen sink elements then work them with photography and design to speak on the promises of technology and nostalgia.

As a graphic designer and art director, I've worked with a range of businesses including eyewear brands, media agencies, musicians, artists, chefs and cultural institutions.
Most recently I started Questionable Ethics, a journal dedicated to the convergence of psychotherapy/ psychoanalysis and the arts.
I also run an art print studio called Figures on a Landscape.
"Quality Above Everything” is my design ethos, inspired by the legendary Apple Pan restaurant (serving burgers and pies on Los Angeles’ Pico Blvd. since 1947).
