I have been doing concrete from a very young age.

Concrete is a very interesting and versatile building material. Although, because of the difficulties of working with concrete, it can seem to get stuck in a design box (both literal and metaphorical).

I have always been a creative person and loved to see how concrete can add to a design. Even when the concrete is just plain grey and straight corners, with the right design and placement… it becomes special.

When most talk about “Decorative Concrete” they usually think of concrete that has been colored and stamped. I personally don’t like this idea. Besides the fact that they are usually just trying to hide the fact that it is concrete, its also problematic in the idea itself. This method of decorative concrete design involves all the work going into the top texture and color of the concrete. And over time, the things that will absolutely change is the top texture, and the color of the concrete.

I usually take a different approach. Instead of coming up with ways to hide the fact that it is concrete, I want to celebrate it. I know that the concrete’s color and texture will change and fade. So I want the place the concrete in a way that will always have a special feel even as time patinas the surface.

So by detailed form work and unique finishing techniques, I like to change what would normally be plain concrete, to something more modern that feels special.
