-Process
Machines accomplish the unrefined stage. Hand tools accomplish the refined stage. Design begins with respect for wood.

-Reshaping Modernism
I create HANDMADE MODERN furniture considering sensitivity to material and time honored techniques. The process by which an object is made contributes to its meaning. My process infuses warmth to the cold sterile reputation of modernism, thus restoring the human connection.

-Forte
Mediocrity needs the cold shoulder. We live in a disposable culture which detains us in an endless consumer cycle. My goal is to relieve you from this cycle with furniture that ages well revealing a faint background of your life past. to give joy and beauty.

-Philosophy
I’m an artisan, designer, craftsman. I conceive ideas, act upon my ideas through planning, and execute the plan within the boundaries of tradition and material. Wood is a living material and isn’t homogenous. Full of diversity in its color, texture, weight, smell, and even sound. I carefully select my material, preferring natural unadulterated wood that invokes honesty. I surround myself with my material to discover its nature which leads in my process. I do not force wood to fit a design, resulting in disharmony. Machines do not care, they are unaware and forceful. I work wood with acquainted relationship. As a result my furniture has an intimate quality, full of discovery, bearing my fingerprint. I approach joinery with classic time honored and proven methods. Beautiful and strong dovetails and mortise and tenon, executed precisely. Good joinery is an investment, it is honest, sound, and enduring. I traditionally hand plane or card scrape. Then use a finish to enhance the wood; typically oil, shellac, or wax. I always aim for timeless, simplistic, classical forms and proportions.

-In the Background

Furniture design became enamoring after earning a fine arts and education degree from Mount St. Joseph. Studied woodworking at Haywood Professional Crafts program in Western North Carolina.
