Surface Design
When I first learned how to create surface designs, every process was done by hand. That training gave me a deep appreciation for how computer can help us put images in repeat.
I believe in creating designs that transmit the feel of my hand. Drawing, painting, mark-making and taking photos with film cameras play important role in my creative process. I limit the use of CAD in in my work to only when it is necessary.
