With over two decades of experience, Noelle brings a deep background in both design and sculpture. Her training as an interior designer informs proportion and detail, while her practice as a maker emphasizes material, presence, and handwork. Her work spans functional ceramics, sculptural pieces, and lighting collections.

For Noelle, the starting point is always material. “Clay has memory and weight—it carries the imprint of the hand. That dialogue between material and maker is what shapes my work, whether I’m building a vessel, a lamp, or a wall piece.”

Her approach balances utility with atmosphere. Each object is designed to serve a purpose, yet also to influence the space around it—through texture, light, and the quiet resonance of form.

“I want the things I make to be lived with every day. Objects that do their job beautifully while carrying a sense of energy and care in how they were made.”
