I'm a ceramic artist, coder, and educator based in New York, making functional and sculptural work. Before clay, I was a software engineer at Figma and Meta. I've always found ways to teach, no matter what else I was doing. I studied Computer Science, Chemistry, and Art at Carnegie Mellon. I currently teach hand-building workshops and sell small batches of work at local craft fairs and through Instagram.
I'm currently thinking about how to embed hardware into clay.
