I am Jay, a part-time potter and full time artist in my beloved city of Chicago. While pottery is only one of three or fours of the professional plates kept spinning, I find my way into creativity no matter what my office for the day looks like. My background covers roughly four industries and multiple sectors, but boils down to education and operations. Curiosity keeps me moving and incorporating new bits into the daily systems.
