The practice
Wood is a finicky organism: it grows while alive and continues to move long after it is broken down. The work celebrates that grain, proportion, and the details that make an object worth keeping.

A piece with a story / 01
Made for the
ritual of home.
“Oakton” was my first project after moving to Northern Virginia. Inspired by a need for useful furniture in a new home, it pairs curved dovetails with an intentional live edge and the natural color variation of sapwood.

Let the wood
lead the way.
Grain, color, and texture are not details to hide. They are the beginning of every design decision—guiding a piece toward a form that feels inevitable.

Beyond the workshop
Curiosity keeps
the work moving.
From the Sonoran Desert to a new home in Northern Virginia, the landscape continues to shape how I see material, structure, and the quiet beauty of useful things.
