I am a designer, storyteller, and creator.

 

 

I provide services, share creations, and offer ideas.

OFFERINGS

 

Ideas for the world. Live them, use them, build on them, start a movement... They are Ideas that empathize and support us. They are possibilities.

CREATIONS

 

My designed and built installations and drawings. Come visit and experience them. Ask me about creating these and other ideas. Learn, ground yourself, reconcile, enjoy the ideas.

SERVICES

 

Professional architectural, landscape, interpretive design and illustration services. Let me help, envision, program, design, and illustrate your project.

I believe our worldly and spiritual experiences can be interesting, meaningful, and fun.

I am not an expert at any one thing. I find myself drawn to many things. I am a thinker that once in a while manages to manifest things. I am interested in the connections between art and science, form and word, and spiritual wisdom and our physical creations. 

I feel a deep wonder for this natural world and humanity, gratitude for my life in this world, and passion for the connections I find, the beauty I see,  and the world of thought and design that brings this all together.

I hope my ideas and creations will resonate with you and give the world a little something. I hope to...

reveal wonder
bring joy
express gratitude
support others

My practice is based in my home studio on Madison’s near-east side. Filled with north light, bird song, and views of yards and gabled roofs, it is an inspiring space to meet, ideate, create, design, and illustrate.
