Growing up, I always had a passion for design. I used to spend hours on the living room floor building all kinds of models out of Legos, dreaming of becoming a designer for them one day. After being given my first pocket knife, my design interest took a turn. My interest became a passion, and then a passion I wanted to contribute to. I submitted my first design at 14. With rejection letter in hand, design is what I pursued into college, and into my career. I've travelled across the country, worked for one of the largest online retailers of knives in the country, shared my passion with others as a co-host on YouTube, and began Demeter to keep pursuing what I enjoy. Through all of this, my philosophy for design has continued to stay the same throughout. I want these pieces to reflect the lifestyle and experiences of the people who own them, and to be something to pass down to others when the time is right.
