I'm passionate about Industrial Design and Graphic Design. They play an equal part in my work, driven by craftsmanship and quality. At the end of the day I find immense fulfillment seeing something that was once an idea come to fruition.

I've just launched my own apparel project called Black Lodge at blklodge.com. I love designing and sewing, and I plan on adding backpacks to my shop early next year.
