ALW designworks is a design and build studio bringing the digital and tactile arts together. Just as an artist signs their work, Frank Lloyd Wright would initial a red tile placed near the entry of his buildings. His work inspired my career as a designer which has been molded by a family of craftsmen and engineers, an education in interior architecture, and experience as a marketing and brand specialist. Much like me, my design work is an exploration of duality; balancing a minimalist, technical, and classic style while pushing myself to explore shape, color, and material. I grew up in New Hampshire where I learned to sew by my mother, and spent summers watching my grandfather in his woodworking studio in North Carolina. Travels with my family always included national parks, historic sites, and museums that have given me a traditional point of view that blends with the modern and innovative aspirations of what is next.
