Light Frame Office Suite
This project was produced for a home design studio for a client that was particularly interested in the color and texture of oriented strand board as a surface material. The frames are light structural steel tubing with a lacquer finish. The smaller secondary units are made from Alder veneered panels, often referred to as "poor man's cherry" and used as an economical option for interior panels in cherry cabinetry. My personal interest in this project was found in the material choices as being unconventional and un-lavish. A sincere satisfaction comes from being asked to use simple materials, often overlooked as construction grade or secondary, to build something beautiful that honors their intrinsic beauty.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am Southern Illinois based designer and custom builder with 18 years experience in metal fabrications, carpentry and custom installations. My background in both sculpture and architecture have helped in developing the capacity to recognize the spatial implications and conceptual potency of the objects with which we interact daily.
I have a particular interest in objects and installations that produce spatial relationships between users, program shifts and versatility, and help the owner/occupant express themselves through the act of dwelling.
I believe in the intuitions of my clients, and work to maintain an open dialogue and a collaborative spirit. As such, I often work in association with area design/build groups and local craftspeople in order to broaden my capacity to serve my clients' interests.
