It's pretty badass to be a tool-toting lady, especially in a male-dominated industry. Do you anything to feel a little bit girlier on the job?
"I like to always have my nails painted and wear lipstick. It’s a badass job and why not look cute while doing it?"

What inspires you to create?
"I find inspiration in my everyday life. Everything from nature to the concrete jungle."

What other woodworkers or artists do you look up to?
"My business partner and carpenter extraordinaire, Will Pro. Phoebe Washburn is also an amazing wood installation artist that I love. Lastly, have to say it because they changed the furniture game, Ray and Charles Eames."

Who are your style icons?
"Paul Bunyan, and visually, Alexander McQueen."

Where do you shop?
"I try to support the little guys. Man, there are too many to choose from. I love Reliquary in Hayes Valley, Seedstore in the Inner Richmond, and jewelry and knickknacks from The Perish Trust."
