I was first introduced to the ceramic slip-casting process while attending the product design department at Parsons, in New York. I fell in love with the material and the process, and with the endless possibilities it presented. I find that this technique uniquely straddles the boundary between hand-made and industrial production.

After graduation I started working as a product designer, but after a about a year and a half of working mainly in front of a computer, I realized how much I miss working with my hands. I started by renting a space at a communal ceramics studio, and working in the evenings and over the weekends. A couple of years later I decided to open my own business, Romi Ceramics, where I design and hand make all of the pieces at my studio in Long Island City, NY.

My designs have been exhibited at the Milan Furniture Fair, Swedish House of Form in Hellefors, Sweden, Fellisimo Design House in NYC, The Third Israeli Ceramics Biennale in Tel Aviv, Israel and at the 4th Design Biennial Festival in Saint-Etienne, France.
