SKILLED BUILDERS & CREATIVE THINKERS
My story
I moved to Vancouver in 1999 and attended BCIT (cabinetmaking/joinery) in 2001 where I met my wife Rebecca, and instantly felt connected due to our art and design backgrounds. We enjoyed one upping the other students and instructors creatively while exploring our new woodworking skills. I continued to grow and learn for a number of years, working separately at various high end custom woodworking and millwork shops in Vancouver like Straight Line Designs, Boelling Smith Design and Vertical Grain Projects.
By 2006 we were ready to start our own business and be more flexible while creating time for our new young family. We developed a life/work balance on which we have built our business on. In an increasingly big, fast, automated world, We buildt true personal connections along with our work.
In the past few years, I have continued in woodworking while Rebecca has moved on to another career showcasing her creativity in other ways. WattWrks remains a small shop where the whole process is realized with care, impeccable attention to detail and in my own hands. I have worked on a wide variety of custom projects over the years with local designers, architects, artists and home owners. I would love to take your ideas and carefully make them into a reality!
