This is RiverRocks, it is probably my favorite piece of furniture I’ve built. I designed this cocktail / side table this past summer, it reflects me completely.

The distressed finish symbolizes the growth I have experienced so far in my twenties. The three stacked stones represent my older brothers, my rocks and the forms we inspired by rocks found along the Yellowstone in Gardiner, MT, a place close to my heart.

After painstakingly sculpting and sanding the piece to what I thought was perfection, the pink finish that I added at the end revealed every single scratch that I thought had been sanded out. I thought I had ruined it. As I embraced the imperfections, I discovered a love for the distressed look. I grabbed a wire brush and continued to distress the entire table.

This project taught me to let go, accept flaws in my designs and my personal life, and find beauty in the imperfections.

It’s me in table form.

“The Toy Box Illusion: a never-ending loop. When I designed this box/outfit, this illusion was exactly what I aimed to showcase. Huge shoutout to @schmutz.box for crafting the most original toy replica and to @koji.handmade for bringing the box to life! I’m thrilled to reveal how this concept comes alive in animated form. After 7 months of collaboration with @jakeaicher , we’re beyond proud to share this incredible cartoon with you all!

“Mind Maze” – A collection that redefines the traditional 9-to-5 men’s tailored look, inspired by my journey with severe dyslexia and the unique perspective it brought me. This line challenges societal norms and encourages paving your own path to chase your dreams.

Introducing the (System Breaker Briefcase)

A couple of months into collaborating with @schmutz.box , I began brainstorming ideas on how to showcase one of his toys on the runway in an elegant and innovative manner. After months of working with @jessmays.ai designing various mock ups, we finally landed on the perfect solution. After that we then brought the master plan to @koji.handmade to work his magic and bring the box to life. He started with crafting a wood base which was then upholstered with leather. All the patches were 3-D printed on a flatbed machine to add texture to the touch.

Overall, I am overwhelmingly happy with how this box turned out, and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing team.
