Always wanted to be a carpenter, always will be.

Iv been a fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker for over ten years now and still love what i do, i guess I'm lucky like that.

I had a traditional apprenticeship in an old-school workshop specialising in bespoke cabinetry and joinery. Here i not only learnt the proper way of doing with things but I also learned the hard-way the embarrassment of being sent to the supply shop to ask for a 'long-weight.'

After getting my qualifications i joined an international exhibitions and events company, spending a few years traveling the world with a tight-nit team, learning to make things extra quick and super efficient.

After a few years of traveling, i came back to work in London. I freelanced with various companies doing interesting and challenging jobs for clients such as MTV, More4, Barcardi and Cannes Film Festival.

During this time i also worked as a scenic carpenter on the film MirrorMask (2005).

In late 2005 i set up a workshop in Hackney Wick and got a regular shop-fitting contract with a high-street retailer. During this time i met a variety of local artists and designers and was commissioned by them to make lots of weird and wonderful things.

I stopped doing the shop-fitting in 2008 and decided i wanted to go back to doing events-based work. What can i say i love the thrill of it, the strangeness of it, it always keeps me on my toes and i never know what il be doing next.

Since then i have worked on displays for Nike, film premiers such as Marley and Me, a giant tree house for Gamers and made a traveling Victoriana cinema from scratch.

Its been good.
