Commission projects

I love working closely with restaurants and private clients to bring custom ideas to life. Whether it’s a set of personalized cups, a full tableware collection, or something in between.

Below you’ll find a glimpse of some of the projects I’ve done so far. Each one is unique, but all share the same approach: handmade with care, designed with purpose, and always rooted in my own style.

If you’re dreaming about something special, I’d love to hear about it

bkrY invitations/coasters

Inspired by bkrY’s in-house stone mill, these one-year anniversary invitations were designed to match the bakery’s craftsmanship - raw, tactile, and thoughtful. Each piece was designed to be kept - doubling as a coaster and a lasting reminder of the occasion.
