The Rustic Forest

The Rustic Forest We're a small team of designers passionate about crafting unique custom pieces that make statements I was born with a passion and drive for design.

Born and raised in San Diego, I am a huge fan of local, handmade products. I studied industrial design in San Francisco and have been looking for a way to share my passion with others ever since. I've worked in product design (local products being my favorite), architecture, graphic design and I also love teaching at a few San Diego colleges. I recently discovered that I love designing furniture a

nd bringing fun and creative looks into people’s homes. I want to make sure every one’s home has a little piece of extraordinary! After sharing some ideas about my furniture (and with encouragement from family) I decided to make this side passion something I could share with others. After receiving inquiries about selling some of my work, I opened a shop to build made to order creations. I've worked with many great people and learned a lot along the way! I love to keep expanding my knowledge of design and creativity. In addition to sharing my vision with students eager to learn, I'm hoping to share what I love with you. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my very best to make you something that'll make your house a home!
