About Wm.
Functional designaholic
The urge to create that perfect blend of aesthetics and function doesn’t turn off after work. Dwellings and furniture fascinate as much as 2D work. Wm. took his own place through an extensive remodel a few years back, and it was featured in Better Homes & Gardens (his mom’s fave!), several books on home design, and on CNN. He also designed the built-in office and several tables. Fun stuff! You can see the result of the remodel here.
GETTING MESSY
Wm. has been a fine artist for most of his life, and maintains a painting studio at 1890 Bryant Street Studios in The Mission. He shows regularly, and was on display at SF MOMA in the JR project! Too cool!
You can see the work on his fine art site.
