I maintain a studio in Seattle, Washington. My work draws inspiration from the natural world, emerging through a deep understanding of material and a passion for expression through sculptural form and design. I am captivated by the challenge of meticulous precision and by creating a sense of soul and movement. My practice often explores the relationship between positive and negative space, and how subtle shifts in form can alter perception.

Whether collaborating with clients, working with designers, or developing pieces for exhibition, I focus on producing work that is considered and enduring. There is always room within the process to evolve. I began my training in the fine woodworking and design program at Seattle’s Wood Technology Center, followed by a ten-year journeyman apprenticeship. This period shaped a strong foundation of technical skill, combining traditional handwork with machine processes in ways that are both efficient and exploratory.

My design process moves between intuition and calculation. Some ideas are carefully resolved, while others emerge unexpectedly. When a concept takes form, I begin with sketching and mental construction simultaneously, refining it into drawings and, when necessary, physical models. Material selection and fabrication are guided by ongoing attention to grain, joinery, structure, and finish.

The final work is intended to be both functional and sculptural—crafted objects designed to be lived with and experienced over time.
