Approach
What I Make
I play guitar and build instruments. I'm interested in the sounds between genres, the space where handbuilt analog synthesis meets traditional playing technique. As a backline technician I work with the best instruments in the world every day, and that exposure directly shapes how I think about sound and design. My builds are experiments. My playing is documentation.
