STORY & PHILOSOPHY

I am a woodworker based out of Deep Cove, North Vancouver. I rework with reclaimed + repurposed materials and reimagine them into modern + minimalist shapes with a touch of organic design. Each creation is meant to highlight the knots and scars of the wood and will hopefully remind us all to celebrate our own imperfections while also inspiring the infinite possibilities of the circular economy. 

The rustic west coast lifestyle of my upbringing in Coldwell Beach, Indian Arm, set the foundation for woodworking where nothing is wasted and everything is reused when you are your own hardware store with a boat ride away from the world. This set the stage for creating handcrafted sustainable and eco-friendly pieces in my collections. 
 

Outside the workshop I like to spend time adventuring on the North Shore mountains, tending to my family's veggie garden, filling my pantry with homesteader aspirations and playing oceanside.

 

I also believe in contributing to my community and keeping the magic of the small town feel of the Cove alive. This is why I jumped on board to build the Cove Community Market series - a local artisan market with eco-forward and handcrafted goods
