About the Shop
This leather shop is where design thinking meets handcraft.
By training, I am an architectural designer. My professional life has been shaped by drawing, problem-solving, material studies, and the belief that good design should be both functional and meaningful. Leatherwork became a natural extension of that mindset—a more intimate, hands-on way to explore form, durability, and detail at a human scale.
Every product begins as a design problem: how it will be used, how it will age, and how it will feel in the hand over time. From there, the process slows down. Each piece is cut, assembled, and finished by hand, allowing care and intention to guide every step. I’m drawn to traditional techniques, honest materials, and modern restraint—creating objects that are simple, purposeful, and built to last.
My work is influenced by nostalgia, architecture, and everyday rituals. Whether it’s a cassette-inspired wallet, a colorable city map, or a classic bifold, each piece reflects my appreciation for tactile experiences and the quiet beauty of well-made things.
This shop is also about balance. Leathercraft allows me to step away from the screen and reconnect with making—turning ideas into physical objects you can carry, use, and live with. My hope is that these pieces invite you to slow down, engage with your surroundings, and find meaning in the small details of daily life.
Thank you for supporting handmade work and thoughtful design.
