On the weekdays I teach middle school science. In the evenings, I'm creating and playing with clay. My first pottery home was Clay Arts Vegas 2014 - 2015. Later I joined Echo Art Studio in LA 2016 - 2023, and now Clay Element in Issaquah where I teach wheel throwing and private parties =).

My love for pottery began in high school ceramics class. Watching advanced students throw was witnessing magic! I've been playing with clay for about 10 years now, and it still feels like magic. Pottery is a space for me to focus my mind, explore new ideas, learn from failure, and challenge myself. I created this website to keep records of my creations.
