Furniture Maker Statement

The elegant simplicity of the Shaker form is a guiding influence in my work. Grounded in this timeless tradition and shaped by a modern sensibility, I design furniture that honors the past while fitting naturally into today’s living spaces—pieces meant to be used, lived with, and enjoyed every day.

I work exclusively with solid hardwoods, carefully selecting each board for its grain, figure, and character. These natural variations are embraced and thoughtfully incorporated, allowing the wood itself to play an active role in the final design. The result is furniture that balances beauty with purpose, crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality.

Traditional joinery methods—pegged mortise and tenon, dovetails, and other time-honored techniques—form the foundation of my work. These methods, passed down through generations of craftsmen, ensure strength, longevity, and structural integrity that far outlasts trends or fashion.

Each piece is individually handcrafted by my hands, signed and dated upon completion. This final step marks more than authorship; it represents a commitment to authenticity and the belief that well-made furniture can become an heirloom—carrying forward a story of craftsmanship, care, and timeless design.
