Bio
I am an origami designer, illustrator, and crafter finding inspiration from nature. Things that excite me are mechanical design, things that transform and articulate, and of course the science of folding.

One Square, No Cuts?
The only step where scissors are allowed when making true origami is also the most critical step: creating the perfect square. I fold my best pieces from handmade paper (in this case, made by my friends at Origamido Studio) which comes with rough, irregular edges which must be cut straight. The square must be perfectly straight-edged, perpendicular at the corners, and have equal sides. A small error in the beginning will manifest itself as a noticeable irregularity in the final fold. After that, folding creates the complex forms of the origami creatures, plants, and even human characters that I design.
