I design and make functional artworks in the form of furniture, boxes and homewares using the finest, locally sourced, hardwood timbers thus creating pieces in the most sustainable way I can. My contemporary and minimalistic designs are lead by the natural form of the timber, inspired by the shapes, splits and knots inherent in the material.

My aim is to highlight these flaws and turn them into features to celebrate unusual and imperfect. I want to maintain the connection from tree to table, giving a reminder that this was once a living thing. In using only native grown timber it means your furniture will likely be made of one of the trees you walk past everyday.

The provenance of the trees I work with is so important to me, knowing where a tree grew, and imaging all it has lived through in its 100+ years. I see it as an honour to be able to work with such ancient materials and endeavour to gift the tree a second life by creating works made to last just as long, if not longer, then the tree it was made from.
