I've spent my life looking at wood a little differently.
To me, every tree carries a history written over decades—sometimes centuries. My work is an attempt to preserve that history through architectural furniture and Wood Integrated Media, allowing the material itself to remain the central voice.
My appreciation for craftsmanship began as a boy, learning alongside two uncles who were accomplished artisans. Years later, countless afternoons spent at New York's American Museum of Natural History deepened a lifelong fascination with nature, preservation, and the quiet beauty found in objects shaped by time.
Whether I'm designing a commissioned piece of furniture or creating artwork for a collector, the process always begins the same way—with observation, conversation, and respect for the material.
Because in the end...
it's always the wood that has the final say.
