Welcome
I am a maker of functional pottery — meaning my work is meant to be used. I love to focus on form which is key to functional work because handles need to be comfortable, lids need to fit, and bowls and plates need to stack.
For many years, my day job was as a marketer. Since 2021, I’ve taken my love of clay and combined it with my marketing expertise to build my own business that includes creating, showing, and selling my work, teaching, as well as helping other makers promote and sell their wares.
I invite you to browse my creations, and I hope you enjoy!

Atmospheric Firings
Gas reduction, salt, and raku are the ways in which I prefer to fire my work due to the rich colors and textures and unexpected results. I work with 8–10 different clay bodies at any given time because they produce vastly different results.
Functional Pottery
As my pottery is meant to be used, I love seeing my work “in the wild.”
In Your Home
My work is available for purchase, either through my Etsy store, direct, via galleries and shops, and at events and shows. Please see the Where to Buy and Exhibitions, Shows, Events pages for more information. I also love to take on commissions. Please reach out to me directly if you have something specific in mind.
