I once was a professional woodworker, running my own high-end studio and teaching furniture building. I still make things constantly; it's simply a part of who I am at this point. Whether designing furniture or sneakers, I use colour, material, craft and function toward the same goal: making something worth falling for.
A knock-down desk in rescued, rare American Elm. Clean lines, a clear surface, small moments of happiness built into the everyday.
A 25-foot walnut bar, back-bar, and tables for the Cardinal Club in Portland, built for a warm welcome. Inlaid brass tells the story of the material and construction.
Exploration via sculpture: material, weight, texture, structure. Control and spontaneity, in balance.
Bone-white bleached Ash against fire-blackened Oregon Juniper; elemental yet restrained, calibrated for a bedroom suite commission.
Pacific Madrone's colour range articulates this wardrobe's design. Dovetailed drawers, pegged joinery, built for a lifetime of use.
A celebration of Oregon Black Walnut and its unique coloring seen nowhere else on earth (due to the iron-rich soil in the area). Made for the small moments - opening a drawer, reaching for a pencil, tucking away a treasure - that build up to make a beautiful life at home.
