Making useful things from reclaimed materials.
I’m in the business of second chances.
There’s incredible potential hidden within discarded and reclaimed materials. My passion lies in finding that potential and transforming it into functional, beautiful objects.
Unlike simple upcycling, where you might still see the shadow of the original item, my approach involves fundamentally changing the object itself.
