My Approach
I seek to redefine the meaning of the objects I makes by balancing local and renewable resources, environmentally friendly production processes, and essential human values. With the deep concern of conciliating production and sustainability, my design uses disregarded or cheap materials brought to a new life, while twisting low-tech methods and traditional crafts techniques.
