Relevé Design
I’m collaborating with Krrb again. This time they asked me to lead a workshop. I invited Vanessa over to my studio to take a look at some possible projects to do. In the end we went with the six-pack ring pendant light. We’re going to make it EXTRA SUPER EASY for everyone! We’re supplying all […]
I like to use fused plastic, because the material is easily available and versatile. I use it in quite a few of my projects. I made a cardboard tray and lined it by fusing a plastic bag directly on the cardboard. I also made the handles for the tray by fusing plastic around a nylon […]
I like saving all my glass jars. I have a bunch of tall spaghetti jars and short, plump pickle jars. They are so handy to have around. There was one thing that bothered me about the jars though. Logos and graphics on the metal lids are a distracting mess! I came up with a really […]

ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition contacted me late last September. They asked if I would work with them to design some lighting for one of the Joplin homes.

I love wrapping gifts. I knew my friends Sara and Scott had done lots of shopping, so I volunteered to wrap some of their gifts for them. In exchange they treated me to dinner! Of course, I don’t use store bought ribbon, wrapping paper, or even tape! When I told Sara I was going to […]
One morning while getting coffee in the kitchen at work, I happened to glance into the trashcan. A stack of six-pack rings sat neatly on the trash heap. It’s such a waste they get thrown out after being used just once to keep soda cans together. The plastic has an interesting shape. It’s pliable and […]
