The Esherick Stool
Crafted as a project led by Craig Stevens at the Philadelphia Furniture workshop in December of twenty twenty four.
Almost entirely handcrafted from maple and oak, utilising mortise and tenon joints with embellished shims and an ergonomic seat.
This build highlights my appreciation for using traditional techniques in art and design mediums, and pays tribute to my artist inspiration, Wharton Esherick.
Trinket Shelf: One
Designed and crafted by me, inspired by the array of knick knacks and trinkets that my girlfriend enjoys to collect.
Formed from salvaged cardboard and made robust with layers of applied plaster.
This is the first of a few in this shelf series; an exploration of working with a variety of materials for different design applications.
Screen printed Works
A selection of my screen printed work; water based ink on paper.
All designs and photographs made by myself… with the exception of the jeep on open road, which was photographed by Onyx Corchado and printed by me.
Printed in my studio, my apartment, Fleisher Art Memorial, and Drexel screenprint studio.
Valet Tray
Inspired by Joe Columbo’s “design for yourself” philosophy, this was an activity of hyper specific design for an intentional, single use purpose: a way to neatly organize my pocket dumps after arriving home from a day of work. I wanted to create an object that inspired ritual and slight joy from what was once a simple, menial task.
prototyped with printed PLA and cast from a “Bio” resin.
designed with intent for the objects to feel so at home in their designated spot that the tray practically pulled them into it.
This project has become a major contributor to my daily routine, and truly embodies my love for personalized design.
Out West
Photos taken on various roadtrips across the western United States from twenty twenty to twenty twenty six.
All images shot on thirty five mm, with a mix of lab development and self processed film.
Shot through a Minolta Maxxum seven thousand, and a Canon SureShot, on various film stocks that i Cannot remember.
Photos feature friends: Colin, Adam, and Jared.
The Coach Room
A live performance venue and speakeasy built by friends and I in the basement of our post grad home.
Using mostly reclaimed construction materials and Facebook Marketplace deals, we crafted a nine seat functional bar, a stage, back wall paneling, flooring, genuine swinging saloon doors, and a sweet logo designed and painted on the stage’s wall.
In under a year, we hosted various local bands and even a full length comedy show.
The Coach Room is still in operation to this day, although under new management.
