My design approach is, like other members of Splinter Workshop, essentially modernist. I try to optimise form and proportion in order to achieve my aesthetic goal.

Embellishment is subtle or non existent and its use is always accompanied by a functional or at least logical influence. My aesthetic sense is, to some extent, always controlled by my analytical nature.

In contrast, my approach to the making of furniture is traditional. I enjoy the process of making as much as designing. A key feature of my work is a strong reliance on traditional methods of joinery. I believe that the strength of a joint should be a product of its design and execution, not of the adhesive.

One day I will design a piece that is beautiful, functional, unique and original in every way. Then I will make it, as I make all my pieces, with pride and uncompromising attention to detail.
