The act of expression takes many shapes and forms throughout the years, and furniture making is the summit of a life-long journey. My upbringing as an artist, combined with processes and tools learned as a designer by trade, resulted in a well-defined approach to crafting unique objects. Objects that seek purpose while inciting curiosity for a detailed look. Constructed of quality materials that endure in an age of disposable materialism. Artifacts intended to live meaningful lives with hopes of being rediscovered and cared for time after time.

The result of my efforts is a small collection of household furniture that posses a balance of functionality, beauty, and craftsmanship. Every item is designed to stand out, while being engineered to fit the capabilities and limitations of a small shop. The intent is to build the foundation for a brand characterized by quality and individuality, that relies in genuine craft combined with pragmatic strategy.

I turned to traditional woodworking to begin my furniture-making journey. Every project has been about pushing the skill, exploration, and not hurting any screws in the process. Proper joinery became the norm and glue a powerful ally.

My vision is not exclusive to woodworking however. Projects are limited by my means of production, but as my tool shop grows so will the potential for greater and more unique pieces.
