Rustic Styled Shoe Rack Bench

About me:

I am currently enrolled in Drexel Universities Architecture Program. I have been working in various construction trades since high school and have an associates degree in carpentry. I grew up in Nazareth, PA, home of Martin Guitar and Nazareth Speedway. I like to sketch and then take my sketches and use the programs from my architecture background to create detailed plans of my pieces.

2013, I worked for a local architect as an intern. Between commuting to Philadelphia for class and only make an interns wage, I was a little low on cash when the holidays came around. It was either get gifts for my 4 year old nephew or something for my parents. I decided to buy gifts for my nephew. I did not want leave my parents out so I got creative. I connected a friend about some pallets at his work and I decided to build them Adirondack Chairs for their new property in the Poconos that they purchased. I posted the pictures on my facebook and instagram. The reaction I got from friends were positive so I began to accumulate more pallets and created a few small pieces and then a few requests came in. And now I am here, working part time for myself hoping to get enough work to go full time.

Most of my projects have been made with reclaimed pallet wood, barn wood, and lumber from previous construction projects. I enjoy using reclaimed materials for its character, and its environmentally friendly. I use my architectural background to create made to order pieces from Modern Cat Houses to Rustic home decor to Pub Tables. I really enjoy working with clients through the design process to the finished product. I correspond via email or in person with 3D models and cad plans of their project so we can make changes and have different schemes right in from of us. Changes can be made on the spot and clients get exactly what they would like.
