Simply put, my creative journey is about embracing the slow process of creating heirloom leather goods by hand. The materials, tools, and techniques of leather craft have been used for generations—they are tried and true. I love being part of that tradition, as it has been passed down to me through my dad. My leather items are made to be used and loved for many years. It’s important to me that we learn to buy less, even if it means spending more in the short term.
