I’m a creative thought partner, technical fabricator, and lifelong tinkerer based in Philadelphia. My work is about bringing ideas to life — whether through hands-on, one-of-a-kind creations, guiding creative individuals to overcome challenges and find clarity, or helping multifaceted creatives find the words to describe their work
As a creative thought partner, I work with creative people who want to bring big ideas to life. I’m here to ask the right questions, share insights at the right moments, and cut through the noise to find the core of your ideas.
My process will help you dream big and turn those dreams into actionable steps. I’m not about rigid routines or relentless grind — instead, I focus on finding what works for you.
In my fabrication work, I specialize in more technical processes: 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, electronics and embedded software. I love combining creativity and technology to bring ambitious ideas to life.
My approach
I previously spent over a decade in the software industry — I ran a consultancy, co-founded a successful product company, and worked with startups, universities, and government organizations. In the software world, success often depends on simplifying complex ideas into their most impactful form, and this unique blend of technical and creative expertise is at the core of my work today, helping people and projects thrive by bridging creativity with structure and strategy.
Why I do this work
Creativity saved me — again and again. It helped me navigate burnout, rediscover joy, and find meaning in my life. I want to help others experience that same sense of fulfillment — through creating tangible things, exploring their imaginations, or building a life they love.
Be honest
Our work together depends on trust. I’ll always be upfront with you about my capabilities, timelines, and expectations. I encourage you to share your needs, challenges, and goals openly with me, so we can build the best path forward together.
Be authentic
Create things for a purpose, because you want to rather than because you feel you have to. If you’re not excited about what you’re doing, do something different.
If you try to be something for everyone, you end up being nothing at all. So lean into being you — the irony is that being completely yourself is how you invite others to vibe with you.
Act bold, stay curious
Creativity works best by embracing curiosity and imperfection. Great things happen when we’re not afraid to get a little messy and have fun along the way. Looking at things from odd angles is how you connect unexpected dots to create innovative, outside-the-box solutions.
Find your own rhythm
Progress isn’t always linear, and creativity doesn’t work the same for everyone. A lot of creatives are neurodivergent in some way — including me! The trick is to find what works for you. Give yourself permission to rest, experiment, and grow at your own pace.
My creative journey
I didn’t grow up with a lot of support or creative opportunities, so my imagination became my escape. At around 10 years old, I taught myself to write code — it became a way to build something beyond the world I knew.
My Gran was one of the first people who I felt really saw me. I didn’t know her very well until my teens, but she encouraged my creativity and curiosity, inspiring me to dream big and see beauty in unexpected places. By my twenties, she had become a kindred spirit. Her adventurous, inventive outlook still informs me today.
After earning a degree in computer science, I spent over a decade in tech — founding companies, consulting, and working with startups. But I kept burning out. Each time, I turned to creativity for solace. Graphic design, jewelry design, and eventually art fabrication became ways I reconnected with joy and curiosity.
In 2023, a chance recommendation brought me into the art world. That project sparked something in me. I threw myself into learning new skills — from 3D printing to CNC machining to woodworking — and discovered a world where I could combine my technical expertise with my love of making.
These days, my work is about honoring that inner kid who just wanted to make things and explore freely. And I’m here to help others do the same. If you’re a restless creative who’s full of ideas but unsure how to focus them — or if you’re longing to build a life that reflects your creative self — I’d love to help.
