PHILOSOPHY
Born in Sierra Leone.
Made in Brooklyn.
I was born during my country's civil war. At seven, I was adopted into an American family. At twenty-three, I graduated from SCAD with a degree in textiles. Every piece I make carries the weight of that journey — the impermanence of home, the solace found in making things by hand.
COMMISSIONS
Every piece begins as a conversation.
Commission something made specifically for you — your body, your space, your memory. Each commission is handcrafted from beginning to end, producing a bespoke heirloom.
In the Press
The latest in collaborations, exploration and freelance work.
Materiality, structure and form at work.
L: 14 to 28”

The Mono Collection
Mono explores impermanence and change—a delicate, enchanting beauty enhanced by objects in flux, such as rust dye and paper. The rust dye paper is interwoven within the beads and shows through intermittently or as the pieces move when worn. They demonstrate how the temporary stasis of nature and time leads to inevitable decay and change. The constant, however, remains beauty. Yet, Mono pieces are designed and crafted to last a lifetime as heirlooms.
