BROOKLYNLAND is a Brooklyn-based maker working out of a garage studio in Gowanus, producing small-run handmade objects across ceramics, sculpture, product design, and mixed media. The practice spans felt pigeons, ceramic fish heads, welded tall-bikes, 3D-printed frogs, and illustrated figures, reflecting formal training in fine arts, photography, ceramics, and painting followed by graphic design and product design education. Describing the design process as similar to painting, BROOKLYNLAND studies a subject, starts rough, and iterates, aiming to communicate clearly to the viewer and know when a piece is complete.

"The objects we surround ourselves with shape the way we experience life. Be purposeful, be happy, design wonderfully." My interest in the creative field started with crayons and Play-doh when I was 3. The only thing that has changed is the tools have been updated to pens and 3D printers. I started formal training within the Fine Arts, in photography, ceramics, and painting. Continued onto graphic design which then lead me to pursuing an in depth education in Product Design. I approach design the same way I approach a painting. First study and understand the subject. Start with something rough and iterate from there. Know what to communicate, and how to communicate to the viewer. Recognize when it is complete.
