Max comes to the program after receiving his bachelors of
arts with honors in Comparative Design Studies at Pitzer College. His
research in “Knowledge Flows Of Sustainable Construction in Ghana”
strongly influences his understanding of production and material usage.
“Without mingling of heart-passion with hand-power, no art is possible”
– Ruskin 1858
While intellectually stimulated by design, the “hands on” approach has consumed Max’s life. Beginning as a studio potter, Max found himself working though a variety of media. His projects have included work in farming, bicycle mechanics and, of course, wood.
Born in West Virginia and raised in the Chicago area, he hopes to take what he learns from the Program and apply it not only to his personal practice but also to his approach and involvement with future endeavors.
