News / Upcoming:

I am excited to announce that I will be launching a new business called Spiders & Birds, which focuses on playful, handwoven home design. My first line of products are lamps that can be converted from table to pendant lamps. My customer are people young and old who love to surround themselves with the aesthetics and possibilities of play.
