Molecular Chess Set
Originally developed as a gift to my brother for completion of his Organic Chemistry degree, this chess set represents 32 custom molded, resin cast molecules present in critical brain functions. Each individual Molecule involved the fusing of glass and steel and submersion in a three-layer resin mold. Each piece varies in complexity to coincide with the strength and movement of the character in the game. The base is constructed of a semitransparent acrylic panel enclosed by a cherry wood frame.

Collapsible Table
Designed in collaboration with Patrick Christie and 18 Karat Home furnishings, this beautiful table is constructed entirely of Larch hardwood, using no mechanical fasteners. Utilizing complex joinery and the strength of the lateral strength of the scarf joint, this table is also able to breakdown into 6 pieces.
Public Expression Chamber
This public expression chamber was positioned in the 3rd Ward District of downtown Milwaukee (USA) with a variety of multicolored paint markers and a sign with two words: Translate yourself. The inner walls of the chamber became filled with a wide variety of written expressions in multiple languages. The structure was designed to constrict the user with minimal space for movement on the inside and the lower positioning on the door, while simultaneously allowing passing spectators to openly view the user's expression.
