WOOD · FORM · A SECOND LIFE

Wood.
In its own way.

Woodworking is my way of slowing down. Giving material a new shape, and old things another chance.

Once music.
Now light.

A lamp made from piano keys

Piano keys find a new role — this time as a lamp. The first Woodgrain piece brings together woodworking and the idea of giving old things another life.

WOODGRAIN / About me

A little about me

I am an educator, an andragogue, and a photography and multimedia teacher. My work revolves around reflection, creativity, Ikigai, and the art of learning — helping people discover new perspectives and find meaning in what they do.

Outside the classroom, I find my own kind of learning in music, photography, and working with my hands.

Woodworking is more than just a hobby to me. It’s a way to slow down, reconnect with myself, and find balance in a world that never seems to stop moving. There is something deeply grounding about working with wood — feeling its texture, shaping it, and turning a simple piece of material into something meaningful.

Every handmade object carries a little bit of that feeling. A moment of calm, a touch of curiosity, and the joy of creating something with intention.

This is my little corner of the world — where creativity meets craftsmanship, and where things are made not just to exist, but to bring warmth, character, and a story into your home.
