I'm a Seattle-based Artist & Designer
Design Philosophy: Less is more. Editing a design down to the bare essentials is a practice that I exercise on a daily basis.
While at work: I provide creative vision for all design projects; promoting sound UX design while supporting business objectives.
I'm always interested in new opportunities & partnerships
This used to be available at Design Within Reach (I remember it was absurdly priced at $70+)...but now it's gone - anyways, love the color combination and texture - seems like this is something that would be pretty easy to craft on your own -
A elegant solution to the typical heavy, cumbersome hotplate; these are compact, pliable silicone and fold into a neat little flatware-sized objects when not is use. By Danish designer Jakob Wagner.
Available in the US at www.lumens.com for $21.

Chicago-based artist, Up In The Air Somewhere, created these ceramic cups that are hand-dipped in bright yellow rubber. A very interesting combination of materials; I bet they're fun to hold -
4" tall, 2.5" dia.

Winner of multiple awards, the UZU cleaner is designed to be ready to use at any time - instead of being hidden away in your closet, it is to be placed as a part of interior. It's cordless, has cyclone action, with a collapsible handle & extensional hose. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how it works, but the design has already won me over; try it out for 29,400 yen (about $325 USD) and let me know if you like it -

There are a few trash cans that I have found which meet my design standards; there is no excuse for an ugly (interior) trash can, afterall - not all cans are hidden under the counter. Here are a few of my favorites (starting with the most expensive):

First, the bad: my OXO coffee mug (1st image below) has never satisfied my needs - it leaks, has something rattling within interior, is not dishwasher safe, and looks immature.
Most other OXO products have wonderfully simple, useful designs; seen below are all items that I own and would highly recommend (except the coffee mug). The designers at OXO ascribe to an interesting design principle termed Universal Design - as stated on their website:Comments [0]
The "JetLag" alarm clock seen below, designed by Industrial Facility, is the clear winner of the 3 alarms pictured, esp. since the Braun and the Thomas Bai both tick-tick-tick (I own them both and had to them move out of the bedroom because of the ticking). The JetLag is a wonderfully simple, user-friendly alarm clock with an innovative dual screen for super quick, easy setting/display of the alarm; it has everything I need and nothing I don't; check out an Interface Explanation PDF
It wasn't easy to find the perfect alarm clock, especially when I was trying to meet all these requirements:
