Commissioned Work

I take on a limited number of commissions each year — collaborating with architects, designers, artists, and private clients who value thoughtful design and material presence.

My approach blends forged and fabricated metalwork with clean structure, surface language, and intentional material texture, grounded in craft and design thinking.

 
 

Who This Is For

I’m most interested in collaborations where craft and concept matter, including:

  • Architectural metalwork: railings, gates, screens, balustrade details

  • Custom objects and furniture: design-driven pieces that interact with space

  • Sculptural metal elements: thoughtful work rooted in material exploration

  • Brand or identity pieces: signage and crafted visual anchors

Each project is approached as a unique design + fabrication challenge, not a standard job.

How I Work

My process is collaborative and iterative. A typical project includes:

  1. Initial conversation — goals, context, and constraints

  2. Concept development — sketches, studies, and visual direction

  3. Refinement — dimensional exploration and material decisions

  4. Fabrication — hand-driven making in my Philadelphia studio

  5. Delivery / installation — finished work, resolved to site and use

This method ensures your project is not only built well — it feels right.

Typical project timelines range from ~6–12+ weeks depending on scope and scheduling.

 
 

Project Fit

“I focus on projects where design intention, material presence, and craft matter most.

Work that prioritizes cost over concept, high-volume production, or speculative requests usually isn’t the best fit.

If your vision prioritizes thoughtful material decisions and collaborative problem-solving, we’re likely aligned.”

 

Timelines & Budgets

Projects vary in scope, materials, and complexity. I’m happy to discuss feasibility early in the process to determine rough budget and timeline before detailed design work begins.

Typical engagements range from smaller custom pieces to more substantial architectural collaborations.

Let’s Talk

If you’re interested in working together, I’d love to hear about your project. Please include:

  • a brief description of your idea

  • your timeline or deadline

  • your location or installation context

  • any reference images or inspiration

Select Projects

Forin Cafe — Philadelphia, PA


Design and fabrication of custom furniture and fixtures for a neighborhood café.
This project involved a range of elements — outdoor signage, café tables, and built-in seating — developed as a cohesive system that blends function, material texture, and long-term use within a high-traffic hospitality space.

Industrial Steel Doors — Philadelphia, PA

Custom steel-and-glass French doors created for a local architect’s home office.

Hand-forged details and an organic steel finish give the doors both functional strength and a material-forward presence, integrating seamlessly with the spatial and aesthetic intent of the office.

Spider Trellis — Philadelphia, PA


A custom sculptural garden commission blending forged metal, fabrication, and found-object elements.
The design evokes a spider motif, integrating texture, form, and material presence to create a piece that is both functional and expressive within the garden setting.
