I originally got into furniture design decades back, creating furnishings for my past studios and conference rooms, typically when I couldn’t locate something that would fit a particular space or fulfill a desired function. 

This led to creating custom furnishings for clients, and eventually for my home. To this day, my interest in furniture is not just about creating beauty, but the elegant overlap of form and function. 

My furniture pieces typically are optimized for a purpose; employ lush, usually contrasting, materials; and have hidden features. 

Talented craftspeople partner to help me engineer and implement my technically demanding—though visually simple—designs. Many of these folks have plied their trade for decades, but comment that they enjoy how I push their own creativity and skill, asking for techniques or challenges they’ve never been asked to tackle.
