Judson’s approach to design was primed by an instructor in art school who challenged him to do whatever he wanted for a sculpture project. This turned his mind inside out. Until then, Judson had believed that in order to design and build anything, you had to get a set of instructions. He had always assumed that someone else had to come up with the ideas; then he was supposed to build it that way.I wonder if that instructor had any idea what kind of delightful insanity he was unleashing into the world? A man who turns furniture into whimsical companions; creates artistic pieces that provoke laughter and astonishment; designs rooms that are a child’s dream realm. Judson’s joy is to take a crazy idea and make it happen—to make it possible.Judson is motivated by a desire to make people question the objects around them. The challenge is to design pieces that are unique, inspiring, and always functional. Judson demonstrates that anything is possible and that ideas set limitless boundaries.Judson’s quirky work has opened doors for him around the world; he is celebrated in Japan and Dubai, and has made several trips abroad to enjoy showcases of his work as well as to develop to new lines and designs. His work has been featured in hospitals, libraries, and airports and never fails to bring smiles of delight to those who encounter his work. Judson has donated many pieces to charitable organizations including Arts Umbrella, the Vancouver Art Gallery, BC Guide Dog Services, AIDS Vancouver, and BC Children’s Hospital. In addition to his donations, Judson takes time out of work to give talks and slide show presentations to students of all ages as well as design professionals. He is an active member of BC Wood, Woodlinks and the Furniture Society and a regular speaker at woodworking related workshops at BCIT.
