I make things because the process makes me happy. I reuse as much as possible and like using materials, magazines especially, in new ways. Most of what I make is colorful and geometric, and there's often a vague French influence. I dabble in lots of craftegories because I'm naturally curious and I'm still trying to find my niche.
