Who am I?

From mid-century enthusiast to professional restorer in Northcote, Melbourne, I’m dedicated to eco-friendly furniture restoration, avoiding harmful chemicals. My work preserves vintage craftsmanship through restoration and teaching, promoting sustainability by restoring rather than replacing. Through workshops and mentorship, I aim to inspire appreciation for quality, sustainability, and timeless design.

In July 1993, I finished a four-year motor vehicle painting apprenticeship in Box Hill, specialising in luxury vintage Italian sports cars for national car restoration shows.

After that, I worked at Maton Guitars, refinishing their acoustic models, staining the guitars, and using their high gloss and nitrocellulose painting systems.
