Bio
I have been designing and building cabinetry and furniture for 13 years. During this time I have explored a variety of designs, construction techniques, and materials. The scale of my pieces ranges from small decorative boxes to house cabinetry and interior doors. At whatever scale, I incorporate the use of hand tools, traditional joinery and designs that are no more complicated than they need to be and that highlight the beauty of wood. Most projects are developed through consultation with clients or their representatives.
