I am a narrative-focussed furniture designer and maker using sustainably-sourced, British timber to make beautiful pieces for the modern home.

I take a Modernist approach to design although I am deeply influenced by the freedom and irregular beauty of so-called vernacular forms and folk-art. Through the use of storytelling, a robust design philosophy, and an appreciation of the Everyday: I aim to create beautiful, functional, and heirloom-quality pieces that are designed to last and to be loved.

My practice is focused on weaving in the personal details of my client’s briefs with unexpected and exciting visual influences, creating furniture that celebrates handwork, traditional solid timber construction, and functional, contemporary design. I specialise in bespoke commissions and small-scale production pieces, each designed to tell a unique story.

I trained at the internationally renowned Waters & Acland furniture school in the Lake District and am now based in my own workshop in sunny Levenshulme in Manchester.
