About me.

I design and build camper vans that feel like rolling, functional pieces of art. This is the story of how I got here, one van at a time.

I wanted to learn new skills and create something that scared me. At the core of all this is art. (Business Insider, 2023)

Artist, engineer, entrepreneur.

I grew up at my family’s campground in Stafford, Connecticut. From a young age, I gravitated towards art and design, and as I grew older, the campground became a blank canvas for me to exercise that proclivity. And so, I began my building career renovating old RVs, park models, and cabins, wiring my brain for construction, and learning the basics of my building vocabulary. Of course, I’m an entrepreneur at heart, and through days of small-scale building, I decided I wanted to take my knack to the next level, and completed my education at UConn, earning a B.S. in Real Estate Investment. Pursuing a dream to travel, I tackled my first Sprinter van conversion during these years.

I’ve since driven 48 of the 50 states, built a community around this work, and supported myself doing what I love.

My goal is to push boundaries in van design and reshape the way people view living spaces, large or small. Your environment shapes your life; it influences how you feel, and reflects who you are. If you want to feel clear, calm, safe, and inspired, your space matters.

The builds

One van at a time.

Five builds, each one a little bolder than the last. Here’s how the work has transformed with me.

2019

Van #1. Where it all started.

An old T1N Sprinter and a lot of nerve. I taught myself carpentry, electrical, and plumbing, and turned an empty metal shell into my first home on wheels. This project showed me life beyond my hometown, and opened the door to an unexpected industry.
2020

Solana.

A 144 wheelbase Sprinter, bright and simple. Solana taught me how much calm you can fit into a small space, and how much buyers care about the feeling a van gives them.
2021

Zen.

A calm, intentional build. Warm wood, marble tile, and a compact galley made to feel open and light. Zen was where my style started to become recognizable.
2023

Luna.

The bold yellow Sprinter. Nine months of pure devotion and $120,000 of materials. Industry shattering design with Moroccan plaster, handmade Spanish tile, and curved, backlit walls. Luna made headlines, and it changed what I thought a van could be.

2026

Flow.

My newest build. Sleeping for four, two zones of seating, recirculating shower, full Victron system, interior staircase, and rooftop loft for nights under the stars. One of one, and for sale now.
