FURNITURE DESIGN

I’m a trained woodworker who still has a love for building and designing custom furniture.

Most of what I’ve made below was during my undergraduate program at VCUarts. The toil of being a 20-something without the vast machinery and resources of a university hasn’t granted the opportunity to return to furniture yet, but here’s hoping my 30-somethings will be a little different.

Should you need anything from traditional joinery to someone who merely knows her way around a shop, feel free to reach out :]

PLATOS & EROS

A pair of chairs commenting on the changes in romantic etiquette over time.

Platos is an example of a Victorian era tête-à-tête, meant for discrete conversation and/or intimacy.

Eros is a chair for 21st century courtship, where intimacy is considerably less formal.

These were designed to look delicate, but each curved piece is stack-laminated by hand to give these chairs structural strength.

Walnut, Cherry, 2014.


STAGNANT AIR

A study on shifting patterns. Each box moves along a track located in the center and edges of the frame.

Walnut, Copper, Brass, 2014.


THE GREAT FISHERMAN

A box made for a boy that travelled the sea.

This walnut had a lot of natural knots that influenced the design I cut into the panels.

Inside the box are slots housing 49 hand-carved map pieces.

While the design is original, these tiles were inspired by the map from Zelda: Wind Waker. Cheers to all those talented little fishermen who drew Link’s map pieces and inspired my own.

Walnut, 2013.


MANDALA

Just a nice little layered mandala. 12” x 12” and entirely carved by hand on a scroll saw.

Birch laminate, Mahogany laminate, 2013.
