"Designing and creating functional art."

I first found that I love woodworking when I was quite young, working on the house with my pap. By the time I was 14, I started as an apprentice with I furniture creator close by. Five years later, I got my own shop space, and have begun taking my designs off paper, and put all my ideas into practice. I have a passion for practical art. Something beautiful, and yet usable for generations. Particular, I’ve been captured by fine lumber because of the chaotic nature of wood. In my furniture, I seek to create order, from chaos. Not by beating the material into submission, but by allowing it, and the design to flow together.
