Focused on sustainability, I craft custom furniture from reclaimed and salvaged wood, often blending in meaningful materials or even something of sentimental value to you. Masterfully made and meaningfully yours, each piece is visually striking, and designed to reflect your story — furniture that’s both functional and deeply personal.

Bespoke Furniture
For me, furniture-making is a collaborative journey with clients to create unique, memorable pieces that reflect personal style and story. With a focus on sustainability and recycling, and using materials like wood, epoxy, cement, glass, and metal, I create balanced compositions that honor each material’s integrity and natural imperfections. Each design tells a story, connecting past, present, and future. Explore my themed series like Levitate, The Waterfall Cube, and Live Edges, or contact me for a custom piece and consultation.
Wall Features
GrainStories’ Wall Features collection turns forgotten materials into everyday heirlooms. Using odd-end offcuts, reclaimed lumber, or boards with sentimental value, I craft custom mantels, wall clocks, picture frames, sword plaques, wine holders, shelves, and anything possible that brings warmth and story to your space.

The Difference
-

Have something different in mind? Have a novel woodworking technique that you want to try? TheGrainStudio is our hands-on collaborative space where we collaborate, experiment, innovate, prototype, and refine until the piece feels inevitable.
-
Knots, scars, and grain shifts are preserved and refined. I prioritize reclaimed wood and regional suppliers to keep material close to home and out of the waste stream. I partner with local sawmills, reclaim yards, and craftspeople who rescue material with a past.
-
When possible, I share the wood’s origin and the making journey. A filmed build story from first cut to final install is professionally prepared.

Creating your custom piece - The process
1 : Story & Vision
In our Story-First design approach, I start with your story, your space, and your vision. Your story doesn’t just inspire the design, it permeates and becomes part of the piece. I’ll weave your meaning into the character of the wood, honoring the source, the origin and where you want this piece to live.
2 : Design & Craft
Together, we select the right materials, finalize the dimensions, style and design. Throughout the crafting process, you have visibility into the progress so you can watch your piece come to life. With every piece I make, I create a professional videographic highlights story, capturing the journey from first cut to final install so the making becomes part of the heirloom.
3 : Delivery & Legacy
With every detail quality checked, so the piece feels solid, honest, and effortless to use, it arrives looking like it’s always belonged in your home - beautiful enough to earn compliments, strong enough to last for decades, and quietly carrying your story every day, for generations.
