Which of your
designs or projects are you most excited about right now and why?
Slowly but surely, I am developing a line of larger
furniture pieces. The series is called Sugi, based on the Japanese technique
Shou Sugi Ban. All the pieces feature burnt wood with a smooth finish. The
series currently features a bowl, bench, and side table, but it will grow to
include a coffee table, sideboard, and possibly a dining table.
Local, Responsible, Natural.
What's your
favorite place in the Pacific Northwest and why?
The Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. I grew up spending
almost every day of the summer here for my entire life, and now my parents call
it home. There is so much freedom and solitude; to be able to get away from the
public and just think on your own is an incredible thing. Trips in the boat to
small islands and coves, hikes through forests that have barely seen people–it’s
indescribable.
Who or what
are you inspired by right now?
I’m inspired by a lot of things, but recently seeing the
Vancouver design community grow at a quick rate inspires me to create products
that truly reflect my experience growing up here.
What do you
think of the color gray?
Gray is amazing. Black and white is a color scheme I most
use in projects, but it can often be too much of a contrast. Gray is a nice way
to make a beautiful project not so stark.
