The Maker
I've always enjoyed making things, both visually and functionally. Before moving to Washington, I spent time on art and design. Once I got here, I focused on building core fabrication skills — welding, machining, and marine electrical systems. Those tools became essential to my work, but I realized I missed the design side.
With the bevel boards, I found a way to bring both together. I get to design and craft tools that are useful and beautiful at the same time. That's where the ornate patterns come from — it's intentional. I enjoy making things people actually want to use and keep.
The real joy is in the design. My hope is to keep building this line — creating more tools that blend function and craft.
