I’m a potter and artist based in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Pottery is my refuge in the chaos of city living, offering solace for my mind, improving my focus, and soothing my anxiety. I’ve loved getting my hands full of clay since I was a kid, but I started getting serious about pottery in 2016.

I focus on creative experimentation, self-expression, function, and variety. This approach helps me deepen my practice and enjoy the process in everything I make. It’s my hope that my ceramics bring you joy and meaning, becoming well-love objects in your home.

Outside of The Clumsy Potter, I work at Squarespace, the platform I proudly use to design and run this website.
