My design process is intentionally manual. I use only pen and paper to maintain a more authentic connection to the work. Technical drawing and the mastery of linear perspective are essential skills in my design, as visualizing the pieces as three-dimensional entities is the most demanding part of the process. In my work, I balance the fluidity of freehand lines with the mathematical precision of the Golden Ratio.

Currently, my primary materials are birch and glass. Before moving to the final form, I build foam models; bringing a piece into physical space always reveals new perspectives that a drawing on paper cannot yet capture. Once the final form is clarified, I deconstruct it in the plan and begin working the pieces from birch plywood.

Working with glass is demanding due to the sensitivity of the material. Cutting and drilling require extreme precision, as the pieces must fit together seamlessly. Before firing in the kiln, a layer of clear glass is placed over the pieces, which adds depth to the colors as it fuses. In the composition, I must anticipate the shifting of hues—and again, how light will breathe life into them through the finished piece. Glass always reacts individually to the firing process, making every work unique.

Finally, I seal the grain of the birch and color the piece with thin acrylic washes, using a gloss medium and a brush. This brings a similar sense of depth to the wood surface as seen in the glass.
