By day, I travel in a world shaped by digital systems—some of it useful, much of it just noise. I also work to build new digital systems within the capitalist structure that we live in, knowing both the necessity and the absurdity of it.

But making textile objects with my own hands outside of that system, I get to slow down and remember that not everything needs to scale. These creations are small, quiet acts of care. They’re not meant to disrupt the world, but rather serve as a gentle, tiny act of resistance. Every item I make exists because I wanted to make it. Not for a market, not for a trend—just for the joy of making.

Procope was born from this, along with an obsessive love for Japanese and Taiwanese craft magazines. These objects are my interpretation of that inspiration, thoughtfully crafted using new and repurposed materials.

Most of the items are made from natural, long-lasting, versatile and sustainable textiles—veg-tanned leather, cotton, linen, to name a few. Some are my trusty, steady companions; others are rare finds of prints and textures, gathered without a plan, simply because they felt right in the moment. Whether fleeting or familiar, each one brings its own texture and story to the piece.

Every piece is crafted locally in Southern California in a home studio, with feline supervision.
