Atelier Mundubira

Away from the screen, I work with my hands. Atelier Mundubira is my small ceramics studio — wheel-thrown, glazed and fired pieces made slowly, one at a time, in my studio in Oxford, England.

Design, but with clay

Pottery is the perfect counterpoint to product design: no undo button, no version history. Every piece is a small experiment in form, texture and patience — and a reminder that the best things are made through iteration.

I also designed the studio's brand identity — you can see it in my portfolio.

Every piece is shaped by hand, inspired by the colours and textures of my travels.
