I make furniture because I love wood, with its rich variety of colours, textures and grain patterns, and I am fascinated by design in general, and furniture design in particular. I am self taught, not having had any formal craft training.  
 
My design inspiration comes from many sources, ranging from a piece of seaweed to a suspension bridge, with a strong preference for organic shapes. I also derive great satisfaction from using wood with natural defects, which I incorporate into the design, enhancing its character and uniqueness.
