As a production potter and designer of functional wares, the majority of my studio time is spent making work that is meant to be used. In a world where there is a clear shift of focus happening towards consuming less, usefulness and purpose are qualities that I value and apply to my work.

I believe that daily objects can and should be beautiful.

And whenever possible, they should bring you joy.

TA is also an experiment in living my life on my own terms.

Of independence and curiosity.

It’s an expression of myself and a lesson in becoming.
