When I was in college, I had a professor who assigned me a project around the question “What do you collect?“  I remember my answer was clear - Memories.

Small moments in time that were lived in full... Experiences where all the senses were ignited; recalled with extreme clarity, and emotions as vivid as the day I first lived them.

At 19, I was unaware, but this question so clearly defined both how I design and experience the world. MIZU is the Japanese word for water- a memory of the first word I learned while living with a Japanese host family in my teenage years.

The clean, minimal design fixed with a dose of honest ‘wabi-sabi’ beauty has been forever imparted into my aesthetic. To this day, I cannot say the word ‘mizu’ without thinking of my time time spent living abroad.

 I view my job to not only create beautiful things, but to provide a sense of harmony within your life...
