Robert designs and builds custom furniture and architectural pieces.

His work balances function and appearance without treating them as separate concerns. Pieces are designed to be used every day and to hold visual interest over time.

Robert works primarily with solid hardwoods and metal and is involved from design through final build. This keeps decisions tight and details consistent throughout the process.

Some projects begin with clear plans. Others begin with a loose idea or a practical problem. Robert works with clients to clarify what matters, simplify choices, and arrive at a solution that fits both the space and the way it will be used.

Robert lives and works in Ames, Iowa. Before focusing full-time on woodworking, he spent years leading teams responsible for building and improving customer experiences in complex, fast-growing software companies. That background shapes how he approaches his work today, making sure he is listening first, asking the right questions, and making the process as clear and collaborative as the final result.

The work follows a consistent point of view but is never formulaic. Each piece responds to its purpose, its setting, and the people who will live with it.

The goal is to build things that last, function well, and are worth paying attention to.
