I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by creativity: wood shavings on the workshop floor, clay sculptures in progress, wax models, plaster casts, rubber moulds, and every woodworking tool imaginable. Making and creating were simply part of my childhood—something I took for granted at the time, but have come to appreciate more with the passing years.

After more than thirty years in the corporate world delivering shareholder value for others, I decided to return to that creative heritage and focus on what truly inspires me: sculpture and music.

Having taught myself the fundamentals of woodcarving, I went on to complete a two-year Diploma in Woodcarving and Gilding at the City & Guilds of London Art School. The course gave me a deep appreciation of traditional craftsmanship, ornamentation and decoration.

My ambition is to help reintroduce beauty, craftsmanship, and meaningful decoration into contemporary homes—creating work that enriches everyday spaces and rewards close attention.
