I design and make leather goods by hand. Each item is hand cut, stitched and built by me. My designs always start with the leather. Certain grains, textures and imperfections determine what item they will become. It’s a very intuitive and creative process. I work out of home in the woods, on the Forest Service boundary. All of my leather is hand-picked and sourced locally.
