I have lived in Victoria my entire life and started my career as an upholsterer. Along the way I picked up frame building and cabinetry and have been doing it professionally and sucessfully for 26 years.

I now operate my own custom design/woodworking/upholstery showroom and shop ( The Finished Room)in Victoria B.C., catering to deserning clients that want custom, unusual and very high quality pieces for their homes.

I design and build all my pieces from scratch including the design, measured drawings, milling and construction as well as cutting, sewing and upholstery on my soft furniture.
