I’m an art fabricator, creativity coach, and lifelong tinkerer based in Philadelphia. My work is all about bringing ideas to life — from hands-on fabrication, to guiding creative individuals toward clarity, purpose, and the perfect place to start.
As a creativity coach, I work with creative people who want to bring big ideas to life. If “coach” gives you vibes of a hustle culture bluffer, think of me more as a thought partner. 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
Before diving into art fabrication and creativity coaching, I 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. Being in the art world with a computer science background is not a common combination — it’s this niche experience that helps me to approach problems from both an analytical and creative perspective.
In the software world, success often depends on simplifying complex ideas into their most impactful form — a skill I now bring to my work in both fabrication and coaching. Whether I’m designing an installation that captures the essence of an artist’s message or helping a coaching client find clarity amidst creative overwhelm, distillation is at the heart of my process.
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 grew up without much in the way of resources or encouragement, 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. While I always had a desire to create with my hands, it wasn’t until later in life that I had the opportunity to fully explore that creative drive.
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 playfulness, inspiring me to dream big and see beauty in unexpected places. By my twenties, she was my kindred spirit, and her adventurous, inventive outlook on life remains a guiding force.
After earning a degree in computer science, I spent over a decade in the tech world, founding companies, consulting, and working for startups. But I kept burning out. Each time, I turned to creativity as a way to recover. Graphic design, jewelry fabrication, and eventually art fabrication became the pathways that reconnected me to joy.
In 2023, a chance recommendation brought me into the art world. That project sparked something in me. I launched myself into learning new techniques — from 3D printing to CNC machining to woodworking — and discovered a world where I could combine my technical expertise with my love of making.
Now, I see my work as nurturing my inner child’s desire to play and explore freely. And I’m on a mission to help others do the same. If you’re a restless creative struggling to channel your ideas, or longing to build a life that aligns with your creative aspirations, I’m here to help.
