I didn’t start in a workshop — I started at 10 years old building flat-pack furniture around the house.

No experience, no guidance, just learning how things fit together and getting used to using tools.

As I got older, I started pushing that further. By 15, I was taking flat-pack units and turning them into something more — like building my own snack bar setup. Measuring it myself, adjusting everything, lining things up properly and figuring it out as I went.

It wasn’t built from scratch, but it wasn’t just flat-pack either — it was learning how to adapt, improve, and make things look and feel like they were meant to be there.

That’s when it clicked for me. I didn’t just enjoy building… I cared about getting things right.

Now I’m 19, building my own toolkit and working towards a future in joinery. I’m aiming to go to college and turn this into a proper career, with the goal of building my own business and creating work that’s clean, solid, and made to last.

This page is just part of that journey.
