Cranbrook Architecture Office

The Cranbrook Architecture Office was a multi-disciplinary group of architects, designers, and artists established as a working model of Cranbrook Academy's goals and ideals.  It's goal's are noble; how an individual's commitment to artistry can transform society through an awareness of the virtue and beauty of inspired labor.  CAO embraced this position, fabricating structures, environments, and products for the entire Cranbrook campus.

Without question, by years at Cranbrook profoundly influenced my concept of craft, thought, and inspiration.
