Physical Creations

I like to work with my hands and realize things that I imagine.

Bonsai

I have always enjoyed raising plants. Bonsai is the Japanese art of growing miniature trees. For me, it is a way of understanding how nature evolves. In order to do it well, you need to understand what the plant wants and believes.

Digital Typewriter

I like writing. Sometimes I like to write with a keyboard. What I do not like is being distracted and feeling the energy of the internet interfering with my writing. So I created a digital typewriter. It boots to a text editing software whose only internet connection is to send .txt files to my own email.

Woodworking

I have just started woodworking. It's difficult to do it in cities! But I really enjoy it! This first project was four cutting boards made for my family.

Ash & Walnut Lamp

A table lamp turned from alternating discs of ash and walnut, stacked off-center into a small tower and topped with a linen drum shade.

Floating Nightstands

A pair of wall-mounted nightstands built from plywood, with an open shelf for a lamp and charging cables tucked out of sight.
