BESPOKE FURNITURE
Handcrafting custom furniture leaves endless opportunities. From wood type and color, to size and shape I will work with you to design and build a piece that will fit into your life for years to come.
PHILOSOPHY
Before I even put pen to paper, I think a few decades ahead. Would people still love my pieces fifty years into the future? What materials would best suit the air and temperature? Creating something new yet timeless is my mission, and durable for years to come. I give nods to more classic shapes and silhouettes, but apply a certain modern element to everything I make. Above all, my artform is about ergonomics.
About Me
I always told myself I would find a career and then retire and be that old man who spends his days in a wood shop making furniture and other projects. After high school at Hinsdale Central, I thought I was going to be an architect, but I never wanted to fully commit to it because of the schooling required. I thought I would be a sound engineer, but that also didn’t play out how I had imagined it. Which led me to realize I’ve always known what I was happiest doing, creating and building functional art and furniture!
With a kickstart education from the Chicago School of Woodworking, and a few great mentors to guide me along the way I’ve decided to go for it. And here I am, an eager 26 year old looking to take a swing at a craft and industry that always has and will continue to intrigue me and bring me happiness.
