My background is a combination of industrial design as well as cabinetmaking going back 20 years. While studying woodworking at Kendall College of Art and Design in Michigan I was able to intern with Ralph Lauren Home Collection in New York City in 2000. After receiving my BFA, I relocated and stayed with the company for 12 more years before deciding to move on.
Working in the fast-paced fashion world, I still somehow always managed to keep a wood shop. Not so easy in NYC but spending my after-hours doing what I loved was worth it! I still have nightmares of transporting solid wood planks on the subway. In 2014 everything changed when I received an offer to help relaunch the Williams-Sonoma Home furniture line and was excited that it was in San Francisco.
Moving to the West Coast would provide the inspiration for a whole new aesthetic direction. While driving U.S. 101 ('El Camino Real, ' the same route the Spanish missionaries traveled from Mexico City), I spotted a road sign, "Mission San Miguel".
