RE-CONNECTING TO HANDMADE
In a world where everything is a click away, handmade is where I find appreciation. Leather is my happy place.This material is versatile, durable, organic and extremely strong.

Meet
I am a dad to three boys, married to a wonderful woman who collaborates in the designs of my creations.
The art of creating began while growing up and learning from my dad and papa, since they created so many things themselves. From an early age I watched them create things out of love of giving and sharing, and I later I found myself with them too. That led into wood working and IT, which allowed me to see how many different things are created or made. Learning assembly took me to individually taking those skills into finding crafting and applying it to leather. My passion truly grew into something I feel proud of.
​
After my day to day work life, working with leather is my go-to place, where exploring creativity takes the space and it becomes and art, enjoyment.
Seeing leather as a canvas is seeing potential in a raw product and being able to transform it into a quality product that can stand the test of time. Lasting for our future generations.
