My grandfather built stairways and cabinets, my father designed and built his own prosthetic arms, and I was allowed to use their shop younger than most kids get the chance. My journey became to elicit emotion through furniture design. Inspiration has come from all over the world; I try to distill the essence of what great design is trying to say. I build primarily with wood, common species, held together with simple joinery. I expect each piece to work like an extension of the human body.
