Describe your approach to teaching
My approach combines in-depth technical knowledge with material intimacy. I provide the foundational techniques and personal insights necessary for students to navigate unique repairs with the confidence to achieve refined results.

What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by the intention behind well-crafted objects. Repairing with integrity allows me to preserve that original effort, building new layers of craftsmanship to ensure functional pieces last a lifetime.
