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.

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.
