Funtional Elegance!
I have been designing accessory products for clients under their brands for many years. I created DesignWorks Studio to have a place that I can play with creativity. I have my own passions that fuel and inspire my designs: sailing, hiking, fishing, technology, travel and lifestyle.
I love to sail and hang out by the ocean so that is where my inspiration is taken for the nautical products. After numerous sketching I always make the first samples so that I can use for a while and improve the design. This process may take awhile and once I feel good about the designs I use sources for leather sewing and metal casting. I am terrible at sewing. All of my machining is completed in house and will be done that way for the foreseeable future.
I hope that in my work you can appreciate the designs as both functional and elegant! Whether you're looking for a leather case, a classic leather accent key-chain, or a new and different keyring, my products are handled with an artisan approach. It is my goal to design products that reflect the times with the aspirational goal to become timeless and classic in their form and functionality.
