Coalescence //

The first piece I designed for my wife, and the beginning of an exploration I’m still working through—structure, balance, and architectural form at the scale of the body.

As an architect, there’s something freeing about working at such a different scale, with fewer external constraints and a much more direct relationship between idea, material, and object.

An earlier work, but still one of the pieces that defines the collection.

I’m drawn to concrete because it exists somewhere between control and happenstance.

The mold is deliberate. The proportions are measured.

Yet every casting emerges with its own character—subtle variations in tone, texture, and surface that can’t be fully controlled.

The process is planned.
The outcome never is.

Transformation: Flamingo //

Created following the exhibition at of Transformation during NYCxDESIGN this month.

Originally conceived as a sculptural domestic object, the work has been translated into wearable form as a small-batch pendant cast in 14K rose gold and suspended on an oxidized sterling silver chain.

Until now, my jewelry has only existed among family and friends. This is the first public release of the work.

Available through the link in bio.

A set of cast aluminum coat hooks exploring how small domestic objects shape the rituals of home—arrival, pause, return.

The forms emerged through negotiation: balancing contrasting instincts, then resolving them into a family that holds together without erasing difference. Each piece is both functional and symbolic—carrying what we bring in, and quietly marking the shift from outside to inside.

Home, here, isn’t sameness. It’s equilibrium.
