Welcome to my experimental, magic-making, joy-inducing playground where colorful products and spaces come to life.

I’m the enthusiastic artist, designer, woodworking instructor, cool mom and human in the studio at Form & Funk.

Form & Funk Studio brings warmth, joy, and wonder to your space through these core values:

Good Design

Form & Funk experiments with recycled materials, unique color stories, and processes to bring useful, inspiring products and experiences to life.

Balance & Respect

Ethical employment and small batch sustainability is a priority. I proudly create, source, and partner with humans I trust to uphold similar values.

Groovy Twist

Functionality is at the forefront of my process *and* I live to add a touch of mod! whimsy! bold color and flat out fun whenever humanly possible!
