He approaches his work with both technical precision and artistic flair, seamlessly blending traditional methods with contemporary aesthetics. Each piece that emerges from his studio is a testament to his mastery, exhibiting a harmonious fusion of form, function, and beauty.

He frequently hosts workshops and lectures, sharing his expertise and instilling a sense of passion and reverence for the craft in aspiring glassmakers.
