I am a furniture designer and maker from Portobello in Edinburgh. I began making furniture in 2015 after working as a theatre stage manager for a decade.\u00a0 As a stage manager, I carried out other people’s creative visions, and wanted a different focus, allowing me to express myself creatively while continuing to utilise my project management skills.\u00a0 Working with my hands in a practical and honest way really appealed to me, and I graduated from Chippendale School of Furniture as a cabinet maker and started Morris of Portobello in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>

Combining an eye for practical detail and captivating aesthetics, my furniture should always be elegant and tasteful, fitting effortlessly into the space for which it is designed. My work is fundamentally informed by the client\u2019s needs and design preferences, and I take great care to truly understand the brief, both pragmatically and artistically. I am also very happy to advise customers, particularly around the types of wood that are available sustainably, or by developing designs that are structurally sound and creating appealing pieces from their initial ideas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
