Biography / I studied BA hons in furniture design at Loughborough University, then set up a workshop to make furniture using local hardwoods and to experiment with furniture design. Some of my main influences comes from old welsh designs, Chinese and contemporary furniture, and I aim to make pieces that look hand made, with chiseled seats and often stain the wood. My love benches are made from lime and oak respectively, the oak is suitable to go outdoors. All my pieces are unique and hand crafted. I have also been a lecturer in design at Dyfed College of Art, Newport College of Art and Pembrokeshire College.
