Ryan Hughes: Strategy & Creative Development
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to work with wood. To bend it to my will, & create beautiful items of form and function that would outlast me. But I didn’t go to a highschool that had a woodshop class, and my Dad was much more suit and tie than he was sawdust and apron, so short of meeting some mythical old man who wanted to take me under his wing - I didn’t feel like it would ever happen.
But I’ve never really been one to give up, so in late 2017 I bought a cheap set of tools, started watching YouTube videos and dove in head first. I accepted my first commissioned project (a set of nightstands) two months later and haven’t looked back since.
