Building Custom structures & Dwellings. Sacred Wooden Shrines

Honoring the living tradition of Woodworking and Craftsmanship. I am a 4th Generation Carpenter from San Francisco, California, with a focus on custom Finish Carpentry and Sacred Wooden Shrines. Each Project is a Meditation on deep respect for the Material and design of the Space.

Temples & Shrines


Temple of the Heart

Designed by Ela Madej & Reed Finlay

2023 Black Rock City, Nevada

Title: Framer & Beam Team

“Temple of the Heart was the official 2023 Burning Man Temple. She was a vessel for reconnecting with our hearts and a space for communal healing. Through flowers, Eastern European lacing, and warm feminine energy, she was designed to induce the feelings of maternal love and acceptance.”


Temple of Together

Designed by Caroline Ghosn with Maissa Sader Architect

2024 Black Rock City, Nevada

Title: Engineered Timber Fabricator

“The Temple of Together is About The light that emerges when we come together with all parts of ourselves and with the oneness we share with every other living being. In this time of global challenge and conflict, she invites each of us to unfurl under her protection and be seen, loved, and inspired.”


Temple of the Deep

Designed by Miguel Arraiz

2025 Black Rock City, Nevada

Title: Pre-Build Lead

“Temple of the Deep stands as a fractured black rock — an opening to vulnerability, loss, and transformation. Here, emotions are no longer concealed; they are honored. The Temple is a space of radical acceptance, allowing individuals to process life’s depths at their own pace. In its cracks, we find resilience, community, and a path to healing.”
