Process

Each project begins with careful consideration of context, materials, and use. I develop ideas through drawing, modeling, and physical testing until a clear direction emerges.

The aim, whatever the outcome, remains the same: to produce work that is materially honest, structurally clear, and appropriate to its environment.

The work typically develops through four stages:

Conversation

Early conversations establish both the conceptual direction and the practical framework for the project. We discuss context, intended use, and key constraints such as schedule, budget, and feasibility. Following this initial discussion, I typically prepare a proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and cost for the work ahead.

Concept Development

I explore ideas through sketches, drawings, and digital studies. During this phase, I refine proportion, material selection, and construction strategies while developing the overall design.

Prototyping

I build prototypes or mock-ups to evaluate the design in physical form, testing scale, ergonomics, material behavior, and construction details before moving into fabrication.

Production

Once the design is finalized, I begin fabrication. I resolve materials, joinery, and finishes with care so the work can be produced efficiently and built to last.

If you have a project in mind, I'd love to hear about it — get in touch to begin the conversation.
