Part of what makes asymmetry so appealing in objects is that it feels non-manufactured. Accidental or designed, an askew or diff in lengths is warming, honest, and refreshing

I bought this ā€œhold my tools while I watch the Sopranosā€-table and made a Matt with an ambigram ā€˜f’ shaped as f in f(x) . But now the Matt meant to protect the nice wood is too nice I need another Matt to protect the Matt

This object is both a primary example, and literal tool to practice Bruno's philosophy of making your everyday objects ". become in themselves a work of art" and ". judged by whether it has a form consistent with its use". Functional, beautiful, timeless.

This was my first attempt hand-stitching tubular handles and piped stitching which I was so enthused about. I finally feel comfortable calling myself a bag designer (2 more in the works).

It took about 10 hours of R&D and then 30 hours to construct it. I've gotten a lot of "Is that Birkin?" which is unfortunate but I think it has more to do with the Gold color and Pearl contrast stitching. I'm looking forward to making the next one in a deep blue Marine.

Frustrated by carrying my corporate backpack with inconvenient pockets. I made a bag that fits exactly the books and pens I need. Well, after about 2 months, and many appreciated compliments I think its perfect.

I spend an average of 10-15 hours a week sketching new designs, jotting notes, and scheming my next leap. @WoahIsThatSteve modeling
