During my first year at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), I began exploring installation art and woodworking. By my sophomore year, I delved deeper into woodworking, metalworking, and the design and modelling of three-dimensional objects. In my junior year, I started teaching myself guitar making, a journey that greatly enhanced my problem-solving skills and understanding of wood as a material. In the past six months, while completing my guitars, I have also designed and built various chairs, employing advanced techniques such as welding and CNC machining.
Currently, I primarily focus on instrument and furniture making, with a keen interest in product and studio photography, aiming to master these skills. All the photos on this website are taken and edited by me.
