Building a guitar is far more than assembling pieces of wood into an instrument that sounds good. I am a handmade acoustic guitar builder and luthier who approaches guitar making as an art form—guided as much by the eye as by the ear. When I’m not at the workbench, I’m often painting, an extension of the same creative instinct that shapes every custom acoustic guitar I build.

Each instrument begins as a blank canvas and is brought to life through carefully selected tonewoods, subtle color palettes, thoughtful design, and hand-cut inlay work. My goal is to create custom acoustic guitars that are as visually compelling as they are sonically rich. We experience an instrument with our eyes long before we play the first note, and as a visual artist, this philosophy is central to my luthier process.

I work closely with players and collectors, collaborating one-on-one to translate their ideas into an instrument that reflects their individual musical needs and aesthetic sensibilities. Whether the focus is tone, playability, or visual detail, each guitar is built with intention, precision, and respect for the craft of fine guitar making.

I build only a limited number of handmade guitars each year, choosing a focused, immersive approach over production-style work. This allows every instrument to receive my full attention from start to finish. The result is a one-of-a-kind acoustic guitar, shaped through close collaboration and shared pride in the final instrument.
