I think with my hands. I design things to be touched-not for a museum. A piece is ready when it has the shape of something to cherish.

My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye.

I am a maker of useful things.

My work is very bodily. It's not a shell, but a body.

Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept.

Beautiful things make people happy.

When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.
