I’ve dedicated over two decades to the art of glassworking. Each piece I create is handmade with the help of a skilled team of artisans who take immense pride in the details. I am proud to be an award-winning artist, designer, craftsman, and educator. Moreover, I am happy to live a life of creativity.

I founded Vitreluxe Glass Works in 1999 with a vision to build an advanced glass studio uniquely designed for versatility, creativity, and efficiency. The name Vitreluxe combines two words that define my passion: vitreous, reflecting the brilliant luster of glass, and deluxe, a mid-century benchmark of quality. Since the first spark ignited in the studio, Vitreluxe has grown into a trusted maker's mark of excellence.

My early fascination with watercolor naturally led me to the captivating world of glass. I was drawn to its unique properties—color transparency, optical intrigue, and malleability—all of which offered endless possibilities for artistic expression. After my first apprenticeship at a glassblowing studio, my passion for glass deepened. My background in painting, sculpture, woodworking, and theatrical set-building has shaped my approach to glassworking, giving me a distinct style that blends innovation with tradition.

I strive for a confident simplicity in my work, focusing on the intricate network of lines and avoiding unnecessary details. This minimalist approach allows me to create pieces that seamlessly merge modern design with functionality. Inspiration for my collections comes from the process, the constraints, and the rich tradition of glassmaking. I prefer to let the material guide the story, allowing its inherent qualities to shine through.

Today, my studio operates with a deep commitment to sustainability, using an electric glass-melting system powered entirely by renewable energy.
