How much of an influence does fashion have on the pieces you create? Fashion plays a huge role in how I see the world and how I interpret trends. I studied at Parsons and have been influenced by fashion my entire life. I love to follow designers from the past and present and use the clothing they create as inspirations in the furniture I create.

How did the Twentieth showroom in LA come to carry your Riemann chair? 
The collaboration came about because I wanted to have a presence in Los Angeles and the Twentieth gallery just seemed like the right fit.Twentieth in my opinion is the best showroom in Los Angeles and I am grateful to be represented by a showroom that truly appreciates and understands my work. 
 
What other galleries do you plan on expanding to? 
We are looking to expand into other galleries in other cities such as Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco but it's very important to find the right fit.
