Daniel is a South Australian-based designer-maker specializing in fine furniture. He combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, creating pieces that balance form and function.

Daniel’s foundation in furniture design began with a Diploma of Arts – Fine Furniture Design and Construction at the Australian School of Fine Wood in Dwellingup, Western Australia (2011). He further refined his skills through JamFactory’s Associate Training Program in Furniture Design (2013), where he developed a deep appreciation for materiality and precision.

From 2015 to 2024, Daniel worked as a Furniture Maker and Design Associate at Khai Liew’s Adelaide-based workshop, contributing to bespoke projects across Australia and internationally. His work reflects a thoughtful approach to design, integrating time-honored techniques with a modern aesthetic.
