my love for pottery started in the kitchen. baking, cooking, and drinking tea were not only favorite activities growing up, but they were also the way I expressed love for the people in my life. the vessels that held these treasures were just as important.

it wasn't until 2022 that I started learning ceramics after a life-changing chronic illness diagnosis. ceramics, and my wonderful partner (and product photographer) marshall, kept me afloat.

making is central to my identity. the process of coming up with a juicy idea and building it fills my cup. equally satisfying is seeing the end result, the cozy cup of steaming tea, the bright bowl of fruit-topped yogurt, the colorful plate piled high with noodles. I live for those little details that bring a fleeting moment of joy, a smile to your face as you go about your day.
