My passion is creating things with my hands--especially from leather and beautiful fabrics. After decades of balancing my passion with my Engineering career, I opted to work only for myself, and make my home & studio in Bremerton, WA while growing my leather business.
I make a WIDE variety of products, though my guitar straps leads the pack, and thus I've branched off with "Acoustic Needle" specifically for branding them. Much of my design inspiration has been through wonderful musicians I've met and the multiverses including Steampunk and sci-fi.
I take great pride in the quality of my workmanship and choice of materials, and able to translate customer wants into products that make them happy.
I am constantly working on new designs, so please keep visiting my shop! And since many of my designs are inspired by friends "can you/what if?", feel free to contact me if you have an idea and thinking to yourself "I wish it had..."
And I prefer natural materials whenever possible. Non-petroleum based, recyclable, sustainable, and re-purposing or utilizing what might otherwise be scrap.... (sorry Vegans, but most faux materials do not meet these criteria).
And I'm always to happy answer questions, and I have MUCH MORE at my in-person shows in the Puget Sound area or consignment at local shops, than I ever get listed on-line!
