About

After moving from Austin to Wimberley a few years ago and starting a horse stables we obviously needed gates. I was surprised to find that there were not many modern design options available, so with my background in bike frame construction I decided to create my own.

The process gave me the opportunity to get creative with the design, incorporating a variety of materials into a really striking end result. So I decided to go into business making gates and doing small to medium design & build projects that incorporate a mix of metal and wood construction.

I apply the same level of precision and attention to detail to client projects as I do on my own projects, and I believe that great design can be functional, visual appealing and doesn’t need to be crazy expensive.

So, if you have a project or an idea in mind that you want to turn into reality, get in touch.
