Skateboard and snowboard furniture
Sculpture and other artwork
I am a Seattle-area designer and artist who has been creating a wide variety of furniture, fashion accessories, and sculpture using recycled materials. My skateboard furniture, snowboard furniture, and street sign bags are unlike any others out there. Honest. How could I say that when people have been making furniture out of skateboards and snowboards for years? Well the difference is that my stuff is actually comfortable! Don't believe me? Try it out some time. It's my special attention to just how the human body prefers to be situated in a resting position that sets my gear above the rest.

I put a good deal of thought and effort into the construction of everything I make.  From using recycled materials, keeping all materials within the theme of a piece, and even looking into the exact way it's all fastened together. These work harmoneously to create visual flow, style, durability, and functionality in every piece.

Take a look around. Explore the images of my furniture, artwork and sculpture, films, and unnecessary bits of information about me.  Above all else, enjoy yourself here.
