The design and
build process

The Design

Whether it’s a complete commission project, with only a concept in mind, or a collaboration between the client and myself, the key to a successful outcome is keeping the client informed on a regular basis. We understand that collaboration is a meaningful way to expand ideas and concepts.

The drafting is done with 3D modeling software, which allows the design to be perspectively viewed in 3D space.

The Build

One might think the build is a completely linear process, when in fact a lot of balls are in the air at one time. This is after the design stage. The actual build takes precision and patience and involves not only cutting and assembling the work piece, but allowing enough time between the construction and the curing of all finishes to set a realistic delivery time. During this process we are in touch with the client on a weekly basis. And, we encourage you to check in with us whenever you feel the need.
