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’m finally getting around to writing about my day on The Nate Berkus show from my point of view. The previous posts about the day were by Reid and Josef. On the show I reminded Nate he had given me one week to work on the challenge. That’s mostly true. Almost all the projects that […]

HOW TO make six-pack pendant lights

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 […]
These are not your run-of-the-mill crafts! I’ll tell you how I find inspiration in art and design and take it to a whole nother level. Then I’ll show how you can use that inspiration to make your own cool DIY projects on a dime. Watch me on The Nate Berkus Show, Monday, December 12, 2011. […]
I haven’t had piece in a gallery in a long time. I was delighted to make my return in October at Parsons’ inaugural alumni exhibition. I was truly honored to be included with such a talented bunch! The place was packed with guests, alumni, and wonderful works of art and design. The Helianthus pendant light […]
