Our small team of artisans create hand crafted metalwork, designed to fit each client's unique style and needs.
In my studio, I use traditional blacksmithing techniques, industrial equipment, fire and creativity to turn raw steel into art. Each piece I create is unique, designed to suit the client's personal style and needs.
My career as a blacksmith began in Memphis, Tennessee. After a two year apprenticeship with a furniture designer, I opened my Memphis Studio in 1997. I have worked with architects, interior designers, contractors, government agencies and countless private individuals to create beautiful, custom ironwork.
For over a decade, I have worked to develop my skills as a designer and craftsman. My work is ever changing. With each new project there are unique opportunities and challenges - this is what inspires me.
