I came to furniture making shortly after finishing my undergraduate degree in sculpture. Some vessel work I was doing at that time with woven woods led me to find a bench space in a cooperative woodshop in Seattle, my hometown. Drawn to functionality and the reclaimed building products I found around the industrial neighborhood of my shop, I started building furniture instead.
Since that time, my work has evolved from smaller works made from salvaged materials to full-scale installations, to my Hoseware production lines.
