​You can usually find me on an old railroad taking train tracks for a future project, or making charcuterie boards for my pet tortoise.Â
​
I always strive to make the most unique and state-of-the-art pieces for my clients, and am constantly looking for new ideas for conversation-starting pieces.Â

saudade soul
Saudade (sow-DAH-jee) is one of the few Portuguese words that can't be directly translated into English.
Â
It loosely means "a deep, melancholic, and bittersweet state of intense longing or yearning."
​
It can mean an intense feeling of nostalgia, bittersweet joy, or a deep longing for something you can't even describe and might not have experienced yet.
​
I strive for all of my handmade creations to evoke as much emotion, nostalgia, and mystery as this word.
