Introduction

With over 20 years of hands-on experience in cabinetry, joinery, and shopfitting, I bring a rare combination of technical precision, design insight, and client communication skills. I’m not just passionate about building cabinetry, I care deeply about the people who use it. Whether I’m reading architectural drawings, working one-on-one with clients, or leading a team on the factory floor, I bring heart, hustle, and a perfectionist’s eye for detail. I also have a background in photography, which enhances how I visualise, present, and document cabinetry work, and I genuinely enjoy sales conversations and helping clients bring their visions to life.
