| Interview |
| |
How did you
become a designer?
I was always drawing and designing as a child
and it was clear form early on that I had a passion
for design. After leaving architecture school,
I attended the first two days of a one semester
welding class at a community college, then dropped
out and taught myself the rest (I’ve never
liked school). A few weeks later I started selling
my furniture (for very little money) at the Fremont
Saturday Market in Seattle (1999). I have been
building furniture ever since.
Where
are you from originally?
Central New Jersey, behind the strip malls of
Route One. New Jersey has a few great areas, but
overall it is a place that is aesthetically painful
for me to be in. Although, it was this lack of
culture and poor design that really fired me up
to create in an effort to make our daily environment
more pleasant.
Who were your
main influences growing up?
My sister Elizabeth really shaped my creative
side. Her influence saved me years of learning
on my own. I learned about music, art, moral and
political issues, and how to take life’s
frustrations and form them into something creative
and positive. She currently teaches landscape
architecture at the University of Idaho (Moscow).
Did you go to art school/college
or are you self-taught?
I studied architecture at Pratt Institute for
1.5 years and at the Boston Architectural Center
for one year. I am a self taught furniture maker.
Any advice or tips to novice designers?
Don’t listen too hard to all the “experts”
at art shows who think they know everything there
is to know about creating and marketing art. If
they knew so much, they probably wouldn’t
be sitting at an art fair.
What
has been the most rewarding and challenging project
you have worked on?
A custom installation on the Olympic Peninsula,
which included a ten foot long room divider that
was part sculpture and part functional shelving.
The piece led to many other pieces throughout
the house including a headboard, light tower and
many custom tables.
What is
your favorite portfolio piece? Why?
It’s always the most recent. My new bamboo
and steel tables are clean, elegant and more affordable
than some of my earlier pieces. My designs are
becoming more architectural and less whimsical
and busy.
What American art
or artist inspires you most?
Frank Gehry, Richard Serra and Andrew Goldsworthy.
I draw a lot of inspiration from modern architecture.
