About
Driven by the idea that design has the power to enhance experiences, invite creativity, spark thought, and foster meaningful connections.



NARRATIVE was born from a lifelong love of home projects and a desire to create spaces full of personality and warmth. It all began with my first home—where I found joy in transforming a space with my own hands.
​
Uninspired by showroom pieces and generic home fixtures at big-box stores, I turned inward—to creativity. My first project, an 8-foot sliding door, lit a spark that turned a hobby into a calling.
​
Since then, I’ve grown as both a designer and a builder, creating everything from custom doors and furniture to full kitchen and bathroom remodels. What started as a personal passion quickly became a service I offered to friends, family, and clients. By 2022, my work expanded to include custom bars and event backdrops for a luxury event rentals company, where I later took on the role of Warehouse Manager and Lead Fabricator.
​
At the heart of it all is my love for art and the raw beauty of wood. My designs are meant to do more than function—they’re meant to make you feel something - to evoke thought and inspire conversation.
​
Throughout this journey, my son has been my most honest and inspiring critic. His energy and imagination remind me daily to create with joy, curiosity, and meaning.
