With keen focus on fine hand-crafting and attention to details, I am exploring and incorporating the philosophy of design - from typography to architecture - into woodwork and furniture making, with inspiration from Brutalist, Modernist and Wabi Sabi philosophies. I attended GMIT Letterfrack Centre for Excellence in Co.Galway, Ireland, where I achieved a BSc in Furniture Design & Manufacture. Before setting up my own studio in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, I worked for Sir Terence Conran’s Benchmark Furniture in Kintbury, UK and for Mark Asplin Whiteley in Whitby, UK, making luxury bespoke furniture for residential and commercial projects. I now design and make my own pieces, as well as a small range of homeware products, and also consider commissions.


I’ve exhibited and had published fine art photography in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, and have worked extensively on my own projects and also provided camera, photographic direction, video editing and audio/sound on various documentary film projects.
