Welcome to my workshop

After my first trip to Japan, I was so inspired by my Japanese masters and their efficient use of space that I intentionally downsized and streamlined my workspace to what it has now become. I occupy one corner of an open plan living space within an old Brisbane wool store apartment. My aim in shoemaking is to create beautiful things and connect with people who appreciate them. I invite you into my home to start the process of creating your own bespoke shoes.
