about

designer based in Austin, TX.

about mibo

My background spans theatre, furniture, and experiential. As a trained designer and established fabricator, I specialize in bridging design and technology to development and creation. 

I believe that nothing gets done without discipline, structure, process, and hard work. Even the most creative endeavors will fail in the absence of these principles. 

Playful endeavors, on the other hand, are not burdened by obligatory completion. I “make” because making is a form of play. I make physical pieces because I believe that dimension evokes curiosity and emotion. The shop is my playground. While I am continuously drawn back to woodworking, I love exploring new techniques and expanding my skillset.
