LEATHER // FIBER // TIMBER // BOULDER
"I believe in simplicity. I believe that materials should be used according to their unique characteristics; that product designs should not keep secrets from their users. My designs seek to utilize the unique strengths which each material provides. This approach delivers products which are true to their nature, and therefore, resilient to time and use.
My studies in architecture have allowed me to hone my passion for simple, straightforward, efficient designs which focus on emphasizing the unique structural properties of various materials. I take pride in developing products that are true to their material strengths because when those materials are happy, we are happy."
THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF CRAFT
I believe that the materials which are used in a project are sacred - that they should be used according to their strengths; that they should be used honestly. I call them the Four Elements of Craft, and I poetically describe them as LEATHER, FIBER, TIMBER, and BOULDER.
I focus on these four materials because I believe they can stand on their own - that they each have characteristics unlike one another, and that, because of their unique properties, are able to serve very specific functions in a project. This is the fundamental philosophy behind my work and It is my most heartfelt ambition to do these materials justice.
