One of my most favorite items I’ve designed recently is a miniature coffee cup ring for my Café Kitsuné by Beepy Bella collaboration. It’s handmade with glass, and the little cup is filled with “coffee” (brown glass). It sits on top of your finger as if it’s meant to exist there. Meret Oppenheim and Alice in Wonderland (specifically the Mad Hatter’s tea party) inspired this piece. It will be available for purchase at Café Kitsuné’s Silver Lake location in LA.

So this is a weird thing I’ve started to do.I feel like I’m never fully satisfied with my mugs and espresso / cappuccino cup situation. It’s either too design forward, or too quirky. My most recent solution has been finding random cool cafes in nooks of the world that I want to someday visit, and scouring their online stores for cups and saucers to buy.

I won the brown cow mug in a contest where you had to collect yogurt container lids. For that brief time, I was quite addicted to brown cow yogurt, but mostly just wanted this mug. Even though it's a little chipped now, I still love it for my java indulgences.
For non-Matcha teas, I often choose this mug I got from Minx Factory in Barcelona. I am a huge fan of theirs. I had a pastel mug previously but it broke when I moved back to Columbus from Chicago.

mostly random tourist ones. sometimes the weird designs on them are so charming. or maybe it's just a nice typeface advertising a historic cafe
i already have too many t shirts so this is the next best thing. maybe i’ll make that perfectly imperfect mug i’ve always wanted

Each morning I have one or two dates, a ripe banana with a heaping amount of natural peanut butter and two shots of espresso - either black or iced with oat milk. I strongly value the healing properties found within the food we ingest, I actually find it quite inspiring creatively. I’ll also make sure to drink lots of water with fresh squeezed lemons. I look forward to it every day.

Frogs inspire me a lot and have been a consistent symbol used within my work. My favorite species is called the Vietnamese Mossy Frog, because of their unique bumpy texture. Personally speaking, I aspire to be like the Mossy Frog. Strangely alluring, uniquely charming, and distinctively individualistic.

I think falling in love is one of the most beautiful things a human can experience. This movie makes me feel comforted, and reminds me of the art of a shared conversation between two people who admire each other upon first meeting. It's a slow-paced film that an old-school hopeless romantic, like myself, can resonate with. It feels like poetry to watch.
