My mission has always been to create goods that meet the needs of those who value individual workmanship. These goods have included items such as belts, bags, and wallets. I have spent many years honing my craft and becoming familiar with the properties and possibilities of leather. Additionally, I routinely study current and historical fashions. In my daily work, I create a variety of accessory items that I sew and lace by hand. Over the years, I have also created decorative arts and experimented with unusual techniques for shaping leather.
