Contemporary Design Meets Functional Art
My work explores the intersection of sculpture and function, transforming solid wood into furniture with purpose and emotional presence. Rooted in the landscapes of the Mountain West, I draw inspiration from the forces that shape the natural world: wind moving across sand, erosion carving stone, and the silhouettes of mountains and sky. These influences emerge through flowing lines, carved surfaces, negative space, and forms that feel both grounded and in motion.
Each piece begins with selected hardwoods chosen for their strength, character, and natural beauty. In my Salt Lake City studio, I combine traditional woodworking techniques with modern machinery, shaping and sculpting each final form by hand. I approach furniture as sculpture for everyday living: artwork meant to be touched, gathered around, and incorporated into daily life. Through thoughtful construction and close attention to detail, I create pieces intended to remain functional, durable, and meaningful for generations.

The Designer
Growing up in Pennsylvania, surrounded by Craftsman style homes and furniture, instilled in me a deep appreciation for the art of creation. From my earliest memories, I was drawn to the process of making things with my own hands.
After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts with concentrations in Furniture Design and Ceramics with a minor in Business, I embarked on a seven-year journey as a carpenter. This period provided invaluable hands-on experience in building, problem-solving, managing complex schedules, leading successful crews, and collaborating closely with clients.
While the nomadic lifestyle had its appeal, I eventually felt the pull to return to my roots: furniture design. Drawn by its natural beauty and a lifestyle deeply connected to the outdoors, I chose Utah as the home for SR Woodworking Furniture Design Studio.
Today, my passion lies in organic modern and contemporary design. I believe in crafting bespoke, high-quality furniture that not only elevates spaces but also stands the test of time. It's a privilege to carry on the tradition of creating handmade furniture designed to last for generations.
