“My first encounter with leather craft was in 2005, when I saw a man hand-stitching a leather wallet on a beach in Goa, India. The care and precision in his movements captivated me, and in that moment, I knew I wanted to become a leather craftsman.

In 2017, on my travels to Thailand, I discovered a master craftsman who agreed to teach me leather tooling for two days. From there, I dove deeper into leather craft, through self-research, pattern making and creation of my first pieces: wallets, passport covers, ties, belts, and bags. Each item hand-carved using a variety of techniques and geometric designs.

In 2021, I continued to refine my skills at the prestigious Scuola del Cuoio, located within the historic Santa Croce Monastery in Florence, Italy. The school is world-renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship education, and has welcomed many members of royal families, presidents, and celebrities since its founding in the 1930s, including Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Robert Downey Jr., and Ozzy Osbourne.

Today, my studio in Zürich, Switzerland is where I design, craft, and host workshops and events. My passion lies in creating bespoke, hand-carved leather goods that are made to last lifetimes.
