My designs reflect my love of humor, honesty and quality.




I am a lecturer, a teacher, a designer --
My goal is to find the best way to share with the public the ongoing efforts of Chumash people to preserve, enhance and enjoy our traditional culture.
I explore topics of language, plant knowledge, maritime skills, family, and ocean/land stewardship. My lectures, teaching and consulting have enriched many venues:
