I began my furniture career as a retail sales professional at Louis Shanks furniture in Austin, Texas in 2007. I was blessed with incredible opportunities by the Forwood family and was able to learn both retail selling and high end design. Through this incredible experience selling for one of the nation's top 100 furniture stores, I was able to see quite a few product holes missing from the manufacturers that Louis Shanks did regular business with.
I started designing upholstery and case goods in 2012 to fill these holes and haven't looked back. My greatest pleasure is getting to design furniture that families will build their lives and memories around, including all the accidents and "life marks" that go with that! I take great pride in knowing that the companies I partner with build their products to the highest quality possible right here in the United States.
If I designed it, I am confident that your family can enjoy it without worrying about damaging it. If my 13 year old and 2 year old can't destroy it with Fanta and Cheetos, I think your family will be fine too with the right fabric or leather.
