If you are looking for someone to create a piece of furniture just for you, or you have a one-off commercial requirement, I would be most happy to talk to you about your ideas. Whether you have a specific style in mind, or you need help to bring about something unique, I have the experience to design and create a piece we can both be proud of. I believe strongly in using only sustainable timbers, and in preserving their natural beauty through my work. Though influenced by bold shapes from the Art-Deco period, and the simplicity of early 20th century Scandinavian furniture, I aim always for unique and timeless qualities in my pieces.
I get great satisfaction from selecting and working wood. To me it is one of our most beautiful and versatile resources, and I love all of its varieties, shapes and sizes. I trained in furniture and cabinetmaking with Jonathan Markovitz Furniture near Wantage in Oxfordshire, where I learnt what it takes to reach excellence in craftsmanship. The importance of precision and planning in the making were core in this, whilst learning to understand and work wood itself. Simultaneously I developed my ability to challenge and refine designs, to push myself creatively whilst understanding and working within practical limitations.
