I’m an Argentinian craftsman and designer, with a background in music; living and working in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I hold a bachelor's in Composition from Universidad Catolica Argentina (Argentina) and a master's degree in Design from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Canada), and for the last twelve years, I’ve been passionately working and training myself within the crafts.
In 2010—out of curiosity and a lack of budget to afford expensive musical instruments—I started making electric guitars at the balcony of my apartment in Buenos Aires. A year later, I opened my first shop, where I would make custom-order guitars, and In 2012 I went into millwork and furniture design and manufacturing along with two friends. Since then, I’ve been working mainly in wood and metal and nurturing my passion for crafts. In 2019 I left Argentina to pursue my master's degree in Vancouver, Canada, where I established my new shop in August 2022.
Within this new venture, I’m deepening into the production of my work by using hand tools exclusively. After the years, my goal remains the same as the very first day: to always pursue the joy found in the work and the creative practice while trying to make a living out of that.
