Every piece starts with a design—but that doesn’t always mean every idea is mapped out from the beginning. Often, the concept unfolds while I’m working: a subtle engraving, a meaningful phrase, or a layout that responds to the wood itself.
From custom joinery to artistic etching, this stage blends structure with intention. It’s not just about how a piece is built—it’s about what it communicates, and how that message emerges through the process.
