Cabinet & furniture designer/maker located in Richmond, VA. I began my woodworking career as a trim carpenter and independent contractor until an opportunity took my family to live and work in London, UK for a two year period. I was employed at a high end cabinet shop in London that creates unique and award winning work for celebrities, international business people and other clients in the UK, Europe and occasionally the US. I worked alongside and learned from my co-workers who were master craftspeople from throughout Europe. It was an amazing and enlightening experience for me. I'm back in the States now, putting my "old world" knowledge and experience to good use.

Personally, my tastes in design lean towards mid-century modern, contemporary and Asian inspired work although I am happy to facilitate any style of custom woodworking project. I strive to create pieces of the highest precision and quality for both my customers' satisfaction as well my own sense of accomplishment and pride in my work.

    Grant is an extremely talented professional. He listened closely to what I wanted, carefully reviewed the details up front, and added insight and recommendations to the design. He delivered it quickly, creating a finely crafted, bespoke, and solid piece of furniture that is both useful and beautiful. He is a pleasure to work with, I recommend him without reservation.

    It was a pleasure working with Grant on this project. He is very easy to communicate with and is open to ideas as well guiding you with his experienced recommendations. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is outstanding. The Wet-bar he created for us came out just as we imagined. We are very pleased with the entire process and the final product. I would highly recommend Grant to our friends and would certainly work with him again on future projects.

    I am very please with the finished product that I received. Grant was very easy to work with and helped me get a product that I could not have designed on my own. He was helpful with making suggestions and to get feedback with designs he drew up before he began to build. The install process was smooth and timely. I plan on working with Grant in the future as my kitchen renovations progress. I would recommend him to my friends and family and am open to answer any questions that other Custom Made members may have.
