2025

A year of pushing scale and detail.

I began working with metallic vegetable-tanned leather, adding a new dimension to my pieces. Hand-punched decorative work became part of my designs, bringing more depth and character.

This year also brought meaningful connections. Through trade and collaboration, I met Mikeal from Full Heart Forge. What started as a trade became a friendship.

Commissions grew in size and ambition. The iPad cover became the largest piece I had made at the time, fully stitched with my overcross technique.

I ended the year returning to something personal: crafting gifts for family and covering my Barry King maul in leather, turning even my tools into something that carries my mark.

This year was about scale, detail, and connection.
