About Me

I work at the intersection of industry and intimacy, where force meets fragility, and materials are pushed beyond their intended use.

My process is rooted in physical labor and refusal—cutting, welding, tearing apart, and reconstructing what was discarded.

I don’t work within a single material or discipline.

I work where things start to break down—where they stop behaving the way they were meant to.

Wood, metal, fabric, paint—none of it is fixed.

I push materials past their intended use, combining structure and surface, force and detail, until something new emerges.

My work moves between sculpture, furniture, surface design, and functional builds.

Welding, weaving, carving, coating—each process informs the next.

I don’t separate fine art from functional work.

I don’t believe in loyalty to a single medium.

The material decides what it needs to become—and I follow that.

Based in Maryland, I work out of my own shop, where everything is built by hand.

Alongside my studio work, I teach woodworking and welding through the Schuster Foundation—working directly with youth from Baltimore in a hands-on, process-driven environment.

Everything I make comes from the same place, the belief that nothing is fixed, and everything can become something else.

Not transformation. Rupture with intention.
