Ceramics for Your Inner Child

Celebrating the utility and whimsical imperfection of contemporary ceramics.

Highly subjective takes on life’s most interesting experiences.


What was your most surreal travel experience?

While traveling to Dubai to meet a new client, I was forced to stay until I designed a Bali over-water resort for him. What was meant to be a two-hour meeting turned into a four-day design charrette. Basically, he held me hostage until I could design my way out!


What’s the best swimming spot you’ve ever been to?

Capri. I took a day trip to Capri while boating in Italy (my first visit there in my life). We approached a cave opening and I turned around to see my favorite house of all time — Villa Malaparte. There I had my dream swim between two of the most beautiful things I had ever seen, in the deepest blue Mediterranean water.


The best place to disappear?

Casa Wabi. When I visit, I go into a meditative experience hovering somewhere between architecture, art, and the serenity of being on a rustic beach in the middle of nowhere.
