I have always enjoyed working with wood...
it is the material; tactile, always warm to the touch, strong, infinitely adaptable and beautiful. It has such an incredible history and wealth of tradition.

My work is designed to be used and handled.
I like the idea of objects developing a patina through use - objects that will reveal their history over time.

I design forms that don't overpower the innate qualities of the wood, but allow it to speak with its own voice.
I strive for form, balance, proportion, lightness and simplicity.
