I’m an artist and potter living in Durango, Colorado with my partner and our dogs. I grew up in Reno, Nevada, and that shaped everything about how I see and recreate in the outdoors.

I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember. I was constantly drawing, and I treated my skis and my bike as their own form of art. My first ceramics class was in high school, and I kept at it ever since, through college classes and community studios, finding time at the wheel whenever I could.

In 2019, I started making digital art and sharing it online, and it grew into collaborations with brands, mostly in the outdoor world. Since then I’ve illustrated products for state parks and outdoor brands, from down blankets to water bottles to Kula Cloths, and stayed involved from design through manufacturing so the artwork ends up exactly where it’s meant to be. That’s where I learned to make art that’s meant to be used, not just looked at.

But somewhere along the way, I started missing the feeling of making something from dirt. There’s no substitute for getting your hands in clay. So in 2025, I cleared out my garage and built a pottery studio. Echora is what came out of it.

Echora is where both sides of my work live. Every cup is hand-thrown in that garage studio, glazed, and fired slow. Right alongside them you’ll find my illustrations on bandanas, hats, blankets, and more. Color is the thread that ties it all together. Choosing it is something I’m deeply passionate about, and it’s in every piece here.

Everything is built from adventure and rooted in color, and it’s all made to come outside with you, whether that’s the trail, the river, the campfire, or your kitchen table. I spend as much time as I can skiing, climbing, biking, and out on the trail around Durango, and that’s where most of this comes from. The goal has always been simple: bring one-of-a-kind, human-made objects into your everyday life, and then get them out the door.
