I design and create heirloom-quality furniture and architectural details that reflect both the individuality of my clients and the character of their homes. Every piece is approached with a commitment to authenticity, precision, and lasting craftsmanship—going beyond surface ornamentation to honor the integrity of traditional design. Drawing from original methods and time-honored techniques from cultures around the world, I strive to preserve and share the artistry of traditional craft while creating work that is both deeply personal and enduring.

Custom Furniture

1 10

I create solid wood furniture designed to last for generations, using time-honored techniques and non-toxic finishes. Each piece highlights the natural character of the materials—letting the wood speak for itself through grain, texture, and form.

​

Based in the principles of Japanese design, my work emphasizes clean lines, gentle curves, and subtle details that feel as though they’ve grown organically from the wood. Ornamentation is minimal and intentional—never imposed.

Built to a quality well beyond the everyday standard, this is furniture meant to be lived with, cherished, and passed down.

Specialty Timber Frames

Traditional mortise and tenon timber framing is a centuries-old building method that relies on carefully fitted wood joinery rather than metal fasteners. I studied this style of European timber framing in Latvia, where the craft is still practiced using hand tools and traditional methods, and traveled throughout Northern Europe to study historic timber structures firsthand. These experiences inform my approach today—building small timber frames with solid wood joinery, honest materials, and a focus on longevity, simplicity, and beauty.

I build with local materials whenever possible and rely on time testing timber framing methods.

Shoji, Kumiko, and Architectural Elements

Much of modern construction relies on superficial facades—concrete, veneers, and applied textures that aim to imitate tradition but fall short of true craftsmanship. Take stone veneer, for instance: it often misses the mark because it mimics only the surface, ignoring the logic and integrity of how real stone is stacked and supported.

​

Proportions and ornamentation are too often treated as afterthoughts—applied inconsistently or without understanding. The result? Structures that feel off, even if you can’t immediately say why.

​

My approach is different. I begin with intention and respect for the craft, considering each detail from the start—how elements relate, how they’re built, and why they belong. The result is work that feels cohesive, and genuinely well made.
