I'm a potter based in Virginia, who stepped away from the wheel for 30 years—but now I'm back with a passion! Working with clay has been incredibly healing for both my body and soul. I love bringing handmade ceramics into my workspace, whether it’s diffusing essential oils, keeping track of my keys and earbuds, or adding a beautiful touch to everyday office essentials like pens and paperclips.

At home, every bowl and mug in our kitchen comes from fellow craftspeople or my own hands. Each time a family member uses one, we're reminded of the maker and the story behind it—a little moment of connection in the everyday. I hope you’ll find that same joy in adding handmade pottery to your world, too.

I'm also the creator of TheAlignedPotter.com, an online resource dedicated to ergonomics, body mechanics, and pottery making. Feel free to ask me about it—I love sharing what I've learned!
