When I first begin to work on a commission, the most important question to be answered is "how do I incorporate artistic vision into a design that boldly demonstrates what it is I'm thinking about, and simultaneously also satisfies the desires and requirements of the client?" By listening carefully to the client, each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind artwork that is more expressive than a merely functional piece.  I believe the examples on this page are all valued as much by their owners as they are by me.
