I can not create music, but when I listen to it I feel a need to translate the concept into something I can see and touch. As a designer, I am not satisfied by a merely visual project, I need art that is useful, that I can bring into my world as an extension of myself - if that makes any sense at all. Some of my favourite techniques part from a traditional artisitc background, collage especially, but my work is slightly more experimental, merging everything from garbage to the crudeness of city life to antiques to hard, raw rock n' roll.

Design, to me, breaks the boundaries between the person and the piece. It's not about the mere aesthetic appreciation. There is no distance now. The object becomes more than decoration, or the emotional satisfaction of the artist: it is now a tool, invaluable for the fullfilment of everyday routines. Design, therefore - and as I see it - makes those little things, like carrying your things from one place to the other, or cooking, or even sitting, an enjoyable experience. And as the designer, the satisfaction comes from becoming part of a person's life. 

Personally, the things I most enjoy making are the smallest details. In my gallery you can see my wallet collection, my jewelry,  and my pins and patches to bring some punk rock (vintage style) to your wardrobe. Someday I'm sure I'll venture deeper into perfecting my furniture....for now I hope someone out there will appreciate my work and understand it. It's very me, but I don't trust it's for anyone else. 

Please feel free to critique my work. Be heartless if you need to.
