Commissions
Thank you for your interest in my work!
My furniture designs draw from the iconic styles of East Asian and American traditions, merged with contemporary influences. Each custom piece is a functional, handcrafted artwork designed for a specific person, place, or purpose. Whether it's an adaptation of a piece from my portfolio or a completely new creation, I tailor each work to fit the unique needs, lifestyle, and space of the client.
Every piece is made by hand in my studio, using traditional tools and processes. This approach preserves the tangible quality and character that only handcrafting can bring to the finished furniture. Designing a new piece involves more than just craftsmanship; it requires understanding the client, the space, and the unique characteristics of the wood, along with overcoming the technical challenges that arise from building something entirely new. It’s a process of conception, prototyping, and execution—a journey that pushes me as an artist, woodworker, and designer.
It’s a privilege to create one-of-a-kind furniture, and I look forward to collaborating with you to develop a design that excites us both.
Thank you again for your interest—I can’t wait to hear your ideas.
Commission Process: An Overview
Clients typically reach out to me because they connect with my aesthetic and have a specific type of piece in mind. When contacting me, it's helpful to share images or mention three pieces from my portfolio that resonate with you—or even ones you’re less inclined toward, as that can be equally informative. I also encourage clients to provide photos and, if available, a floor plan of the space where the piece will be placed.
We'll discuss key details like dimensions, wood selection, and style, as well as your budget and timeline. As part of the commission process, you’ll receive a detailed cost and time estimate. Once we finalize the specifics, I request a 50% deposit, which secures your spot in my schedule and covers the cost of materials.
For the initial design, I typically present three concept options for you to choose from. After you select a design, I’ll create a scale drawing for final approval, confirming dimensions before construction begins, as changes are difficult once the wood is cut.
