process

sourcing materials from waste streams keeps good materials from reaching their end of life & prevents new materials from being extracted. it’s a win-win

i refuse to stock any petroleum derived glues, solvents, stains or finishes in my studio. i use only biodegradable products to fill all these roles.

no mass production. each piece is crafted thoughtfully to fully utilize the material. today’s leftovers can be the inspiration for tomorrow’s design.

working with a material’s natural form dictates the design. it’s problem solving to achieve a timeless style as opposed to a momentary trend.

change is constant. education should be too. i’m committed to researching new supplies, techniques & processes as well as sharing what i learn.
