My work is about gift giving. I found the hobby I love in leathercraft, and soon found joy in creating unique pieces that celebrate the hobbies of those I care about.

A dice tray for a friend; a golf ball holder for my dad. It’s in these moments I realized how meaningful it is to share a piece of someone’s passion.
