31 & Change (2010-Present) Owner/Designer

Exploring a passion meant taking a hiatus from advertising and pursuing a more dusty, imaginative side. Launching my own custom made, hand-crafted furniture company was a lesson in ownership, hard work and freedom. I created not only the furniture, but also the brand: marketing materials, logos, sales, PR and e-commerce. I’ve been represented in stores in Austin and NYC and have built pieces for individuals and businesses like Gap, WeWork and the Renaissance Hotel.
