My Story - Behind The Resin Veil
I don’t make products. I make pieces with purpose.
A lot of that comes from how I grew up. My childhood was rough. Time in foster care changes the way you think about ownership, identity, and what it means for something to actually belong to you.
Growing up, not much ever felt fully mine.
That stayed with me.
So now, when I build something for someone, that matters. Even the smallest detail — color, finish, shape, tone — should feel like it belongs to the person it was made for. Not generic. Not borrowed. Not pulled off a shelf.
I have a twin brother, and people have asked my whole life if we’re identical.
We’re not. Boy-girl twins never are.
That usually disappoints them.
Apparently the idea that there’s only one of me is a letdown.
That stuck with me too.
Things can share a starting point without being the same. Similar doesn’t mean identical. Inspiration doesn’t mean duplication. That carries straight into my work.
I’m based in Georgia and I build custom resin tables, wall and table decor, chessboards, and accessories by hand. What’s here is not mass production. It’s not a catalog. It’s work shaped by people, materials, and intention.
Everything is meant to be tailored. That’s the point.
PROCESS
I work with hardwood and resin because neither one listens.
Wood has history. Resin moves how it wants. Every pour shifts. Grain does its own thing. Pigment settles where it settles. You can guide it, but you don’t get to control all of it.
That’s fine with me.
The process starts with a conversation. What you like. What you don’t. How you live. What belongs in your space. From there it moves into design, material selection, pouring, curing, sanding, refining, and finishing.
I don’t rush it.
I also don’t fake custom.
The way I grew up left me with a short list of things I take seriously: integrity, loyalty, and doing what you said you would do. That applies here too. If I say something is custom, it is. If I say I care about quality, that means I’m not cutting corners to save time.
If something needs more work, it gets more work.
Some smaller pieces and select wall art may be available because they were made for an upcoming art festival or left over from a past one. That happens. But custom work comes first. Larger statement pieces are built one at a time, for the person they’re meant for.
PHILOSOPHY
I don’t believe the things in your space should feel temporary, generic, or replaceable.
I think they should mean something.
When you grow up without much that feels like yours, you learn the difference between owning something and actually connecting to it. That’s what customization means to me. Not a surface-level tweak. Not choosing from three preset colors. I mean something built around the person it belongs to.
That’s why I don’t do exact copies.
Pieces can share a mood. They can share influence. They can come from a similar place. They still shouldn’t exist twice in the exact same way.
There’s enough sameness already.
I’d rather make something that feels like it belongs to one person, in one space, for one reason.
That’s the standard.
Every legendary piece begins with a pour.
How it finishes depends on you.
