My dream
SS: I’m looking to connect with other creatives and find inspiration through shared experiences. With over 20 years of design and fabrication experience, I can offer valuable insight—especially to emerging designers interested in working with glass. What has shaped me most are not specific projects, but the people behind them—their relationships, values, and approach. My biggest professional dream is to open a private studio that can host residencies and collaborations, creating a space for meaningful creative exchange.
