Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been living in the Pacific Northwest since 1991 and currently work in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a fast growing hub of creative energy and inspired Makers. I am one. For me, it has always been about line, shape, function and lets not forget . . . wood. I am awed by it's unique nature and delighted that I get the opportunity to work with it everyday. Each board and every species has it's own unique characteristics. A wild example is the Huon Pine from Tasmania. It is the oldest living tree on the planet at 10, 500 years. They start to reproduce 600 to 800 years of age. That helps put some perspective in the realm of us and them!
The intention behind my work is to highlight the qualities of each piece of wood I handle, to give it a new life, and to help us appreciate and see it for what it is. I am often given the great pleasure to make gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays and just something sweet. What a special honor it is to be the maker of a gift! I get the sweet view of seeing a person love another. Isn't that what it's all about?
My background in both fine art and the construction industry has given me an unusual approach to woodworking and furniture making. I am an artist who makes usable, beautiful objects with wood that I hope will say something about us.
I have a BFA from Cooper Union in NYC, NY and was a contractor for over 15 years designing and remodeling homes in New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Eugene, Oregon. While studying fine art and learning how to carve wood I also studied woodworking and cabinetry. Later I worked for a couple of architectural woodworking shops in Oregon where I learned in a commercial environment making one off custom work.
I make furniture, woodwork , sculpture, laptop stands, specialty boxes, jewelry and probably something else by the time you read this. I love to design and build my own work as well as contract commissions for clients. My passion lies in discovery and invention and the challenge to make something useful in the most beautiful way possible.
I hope you enjoy!

For Wood Wallet And Business Card Holder4.3The wooden wallet is stunningly beautiful. It shows a level of expertise and attention to detail not often found even in very high-end products. The fit and finish make holding and using the wallet very pleasing. This is an heirloom piece I will cherish. Although completion of it took longer than expected, this item is well worth the wait!

For Those custom dice!4.7I waited a long time for these, but in the end, she made it very much worth it. Stuff happened in her life, and she communicated well, and when I finally got the pieces, they were BEAUTIFUL, just what I imagined. I highly recommend her for fantastic work. And your wait won't be mine, for multiple reasons.
