Her educational background synthesized 2-D and 3-D design thinking creating work which is a thoughtful combination of line, for color and materials.  While her current work embraces traditional hand skills, her design philosophy allows idea visualization through technology and craft to coexist. Her concepts are formulated for a variety of outputs from installation to salable products.
