My work combines simple lines and forms with a passion for intricate decoration. I'm inspired by geometric patterns from around the world.

Carving and piercing are some of the techniques I've been exploring in this search for harmony between detail and simpleness.

Each one of my pots are handmade with care and with the hope of bringing joy to people's everyday life.
