I'm excited to introduce my skilled services within our wonderful community. Originally hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, I've had the pleasure of calling Oakland my home for the past 18 years. My craftsmanship journey has been a tapestry of experiences, starting in 2006 with building and designing hardwood furniture for the Cottage table company. Between 2014 and 2016, I immersed myself in the fascinating world of refinishing under the expert tutelage of Jameson at Grit Wood Finishing SF, gaining invaluable insights into the art of restoration. From 2016 to 2020, I had the privilege of working on designing, building, and installing one-of-a-kind art pieces for offices and events. My clientele included esteemed names such as Airbnb, Slack, Pinterest, Meta, Etsy and Uber. More recently, I completed an apprenticeship in high-end cabinet making from AC Woodworks, refining my skills and deepening my commitment to quality craftsmanship. Whether you're in search of bespoke hardwood furniture, expert refinishing services, assistance with Art hanging or just need an expert hand with furniture assembly, repair or a myriad of other handyman tasks I'm here to bring your visions to life. Don't hesitate to reach out, and let's collaborate on something truly special together. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and contributing a touch of artistry to our neighbourhood!
