I make fine fragrance as a sensory art form and use scent to explore memory and feeling. Each perfume I create is developed through an intensive iterative process, which often exceeds 100 revisions over several months and evolves with intention. 

 

Fragrance is not merely a product but a complete artistic experience that unfolds over time and has a direct relationship with each wearer. Composition, aroma-chemicals olfactory perception, volatility, and skin interaction are treated as formal elements, much like color or texture in other media. I focus on tension, structure, and balance to shape how a scent opens, settles, and evokes emotion. 

 

Based in Tucson, Arizona, my work is informed by community, curation, and experience. I approach my craft with an emphasis on education since the industry is so gate-kept by only a few global perfume houses. My forthcoming brick and mortar studio is conceived not as a traditional retail space, but as a site for intentional scent exploration, where visitors can experience the scent of raw materials, learn about the history of perfume, and about the compositional process. 

 

Through my practice, I aim to demystify perfumery and position scent alongside other contemporary fine arts as a legitimate and very human mode of expression.
