Computers, Pottery, Blender, and 3D Printing
These years were a blur of learning and making with technology and clay. I bought my own computer at 12, and pottery, Blender, and 3D printing all overlapped in the years that followed.
First Computer
Saved up and bought a computer of my own at 12 to start tinkering and making mistakes with technology.
First Pottery Wheel
Started teaching myself how to throw pottery through hours of YouTube videos and daily practice. I stayed with it constantly until 2020.
Learning Blender
Took Blender classes and started learning how to model, animate, run simulations, render, and build games.
First 3D Printer
Got a 3D printer at 15 and started applying everything I had been learning in Blender to create real-world prototypes and fix things around the house.

Moving to New York
I moved to New York at 16. Utah still felt like home, but the change of pace eventually led to full-time ceramics and engineering.
Move to New York
First major move and a big reset in my environment before the WCAC years.
First Mobile App
Built my first iOS Swift app as a companion to the CASHFLOW board game for managing money and careers.
First Website
Started learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, building my own personal website and tinkering with servers and hosting.

Internship and Residency at Wellsville Creative Arts Center
Ceramics became a consistent daily practice through an apprenticeship and then a residency at Wellsville Creative Arts Center.
- Artist Internship — September 2016 to March 2017
- Maintained studio glazes and taught people to throw live at multiple Maker Expo events.
- Artist in Residence — March 2017 to August 2018
- Started learning about glaze chemistry and crystal growth while continuing to take on more responsibility and build relationships within the studio.
Internship Start
My apprenticeship began with production responsibility: keeping studio glazes healthy, fixing faults, and learning how consistency is earned in a shared ceramics space.
Artist in Residence
The residency gave me more room for self-directed research into glaze chemistry and zinc-silicate crystal growth, and it gave me access to raw materials and test kilns.

Bootcamp, SmartKiln, and Studio Manager
In the span of a year, I finished a front-end bootcamp, started building SmartKiln, and became the youngest WCAC studio manager.
- Finished a front-end bootcamp 60% faster than the program average.
- Accepted the studio manager role from August 2018 to December 2019.
- Built SmartKiln from a standalone touchscreen prototype to a full IoT kiln controller.
- Continued studying material science and glaze chemistry through hours and hours of testing.
Studio & Programming Manager
The role expanded my studio work into operations: managing students, teachers, scheduling, workshops, projecting income, product costing, material ordering, and profit/loss tracking.
Bootcamp to SmartKiln
Before I finished the bootcamp, I started building the first SmartKiln prototype as soon as I knew enough to get something started.

Tags Launches and Real Estate Investing Starts
In 2021, I built Tags, a lost-and-found system that pairs QR stickers with a lightweight web app. It involved a privacy-first user experience, backend infrastructure, and physical product components. I also bought and renovated a duplex investment property, gutted the bathrooms and kitchens, and transformed the overgrown and neglected exterior into a pristine yard and garden space.
Packaging
All packaging was designed in Adobe XD, cut on a Cricut, and assembled by hand in my apartment.
Duplex
Bought and renovated a duplex investment property at 22.

DynamicNotch Ships Alongside a Run of 3D Printing
In 2024, I split my side projects between DynamicNotch, a macOS utility that turns the static notch into a real-time media center, and a run of 3D-printing projects that included a custom Apple Vision Pro LightSeal, a pendant lamp, and a TVÄRHAND shade for IKEA lamps.
