I am a furniture designer and maker based in San Francisco. With roots in industrial design and furniture craftsmanship, my work aims for elegance and usefulness in equal measure. The success and longevity of any piece of furniture comes from both a strong design and quality craftsmanship.

I am drawn to shapes, styles and materials that bring a calm authority to the spaces they inhabit. Informed by midcentury modern style, updated to timeless pieces. With a reputation for furniture that is thoughtfully designed, I hope my work has an enduring appeal.

Contact me if you are interested in my current work or would like to discuss a private commission.
