The Maker

Handcrafted in Dallas.
One lamp at a time.

I started building lamps because I couldn't find one I actually liked.

Everything was either mass-produced and forgettable, or handmade and overpriced. So I walked into my shop in Oak Cliff, grabbed some oak and brass, and built my own.

That was the first one. Now I can't stop.


Every piece starts the same way.

I hand-select the hardwood, source solid brass hardware, and build the whole thing myself. No CNC machines. No assembly lines. No overseas factories. Just me, my hands, and a shop full of sawdust in Dallas, TX.

"I'm also a professional photographer with 20 years behind a camera. Every product you see was designed, built, and shot by the same person. What you see is exactly what you get — and it looks even better in person."

Most pieces end up on nightstands and office desks, but I've also built for restaurants, hotel lobbies, and home staging companies. If you want something custom — different wood species, a specific finish, a size that fits your space — just message me. That's my favorite part of the work.


The test.

I build things I'd want in my own home. If it wouldn't pass that test, it doesn't leave the shop.
