Hotel corridors are strange, tender spaces. Nobody lingers. Everyone is mid-somewhere.

I kept thinking about that with this collection — who moves through a hallway at after midnight, a little tired, a little far from home? What does a handmade object offer them, even briefly, even without context?

I don't know exactly. But I believe in the language of things made slowly. I believe it reaches people even when they don't stop to look.

If you find yourself at Toronto, wander the floors a little. They're there. 🤍

Hotel corridors are transient spaces. People pass through them tired, jet-lagged, full of thoughts. I wanted these pieces to offer something still. Something that didn't ask too much.

Ceramics have always been my way of slowing down. I'm grateful they get to do that for others now too.
If you're staying at , keep an eye out on the guest floors — they're there waiting for you.

Last summer I had the opportunity to work with to curate a body of work for a very special space in Toronto — one that felt aligned with everything I believe ceramics can be: quiet, intentional, and meant to be lived with.

The pieces live throughout the guest floor corridors as gentle companions to the people moving through that space. There's something deeply meaningful about knowing my work has a permanent home somewhere people rest, travel, and experience the city.

The look of steel captured in clay. An everyday reminder of our entanglement with things wild and ancient.

A little bts of my recent collaboration with BSH for

400 vessels, off to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Working in my new studio for the first time to accommodate the size of this project, a bare bones set up, and a few extra set of hands helping me deliver on a tight timelime. A big thank you to and for all their support, I couldn't have done it with you🤍

And yes, my new studio really is coming soon.

400 vessels. 3 cities. 1 design language.

Earlier this year, the BSH Experience and Design Centre invited me to create 400 vessels for the launch of Expressive Series—pieces that would be held, used, and taken home at gatherings in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

The custom glaze was inspired by Gaggenau's use of stainless steel and smoked glass and wanting to capture the tension between reflection and depth, clarity and softness.

Each vessel became a small extension of the collection itself: sculptural, minimal, quietly assertive.

The evenings were layered with beautifully considered details—in Vancouver food by .dezlo & .ao drinks by

A big thank you to the team of BSH Home!

From the archives beautifully styled and captured by shot last year in my new studio space.

I will forever look at the images in this series and remember the circumstances surrounding this moment. Not only were these test made for a dream project & client, but I had just gotten the keys to my new studio and this was my first time using the space. I can't easily explain the joy I felt having Seth and Ryan as my first guests, collaborating, playing around and documenting this milestone moment for me🫶

TLDR feeling like there's alot to be grateful for🥹🫶🥂
