Alongside my work in digital and print design, I’ve spent years designing and carving functional pieces in wood — each one carefully handmade from local New Brunswick hardwoods like birdseye maple, black walnut, and cherry. I’ll also reach for pine when I need something soft. These materials have their own personalities, and I’ve come to appreciate the patience they demand.

There’s no “undo” button in woodworking. You measure twice and cut once. That discipline has sharpened my design instincts across the board — making me more exact, more thoughtful, and more aware of how things come together, whether it’s a logo, a layout, or a dovetail joint.

The pieces I create are built to last — durable enough for everyday use. From time to time, you’ll find them in local fine craft galleries, but each one starts the same way: with a sketch, a board, and a process.

Keep an eye out — my artwork and wood products are sometimes available at great local craft shops.
