My Design Philosophy
Design is my first love as an artist. The simple yet elegant designs are created through thoughtful contemplation of the materials and influenced by a wide array of contemporary works, the Mission style, and Asian influences. My designs are constantly evolving and changing through experimentation with materials, styles, and techniques. I always strive to highlight special features of the wood and materials.

My Craft
The methods are highest quality woodworking techniques; dovetails, mortise & tenon, etc. but the exploration of alternate materials (Stone, metal, glass) expands my work far beyond traditional woodworking techniques.
