I am a maker of books who is happy making them. My goal is to enjoy developing the craft and inventing the art that goes into my work, and to take whoever is willing along with me to share the journey. 

While I highly honor the craft of bookbinding and continue to seek improvement in my technique, it is the adventure of inventing interesting design concepts that excites me most.

Visually, my work reflects my interests in various aspects of human perception such as visual tricks and humor, and the nature of confusion and disorientation, of not knowing. I am also interested in the nature of surfaces and materials. I apply my explorations of these interests along with accumulated technical skills to the interpretation of existing texts or to the invention of content of my own. I aim to create books whose intellectual and sensual facets are integrated, that are interesting, even challenging, and are good company.
