one person. one room in Chicago. objects, prints, and paraphernalia made from the inside.
I started drawing at university — drawing the things that interested me, and the things I thought were missing. When I couldn't find them anywhere, I started painting and designing them myself.
That became the whole practice: figuring out what would make the queer experience better, and working on designs that make our lives easier. Paintings first, then commissions — murals, custom 3D models, products.
In 2024 it all became Q.M.M. — Queer Mixed Media — one room in Chicago. The first piece was Grippy, a premium poppers case, because if a thing is going to live in our pockets it deserves to be designed like it matters.
Every piece takes something that's ours — slang, gestures, in-jokes, history — and turns it into a thing you can hold, wear, hang, or smoke.
No focus groups. No brand team. No translation for outsiders. One queer person making things for queer people. If you got it, you got it.
Q.M.M. is a studio, not a store. Objects come out when they're ready, in numbered editions — because they had to exist.
Sketches on whatever's nearest. Reference walls. Cut-and-paste collage to find the form. If a piece doesn't earn a reaction here, it doesn't make it past here.
Print, paint, paste, cast. Every piece touches multiple stations on the floor — print bay, paint wall, finishing station. Mistakes get kept if they're better than the plan.
Sand, seal, sign, number. Documented and editioned in the same week. Boxed by hand and out the door.
commissions, collabs, and good ideas all welcome.
