It was about this time last year that I found myself on the brink of disaster or maybe just a personal melt down. Either way, graduation was coming for me whether I liked it or not. There was nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide.
That was then, this is now. Now I am a designer of rustic furniture. My designs and inspirations come from recycled teak wood resulting in environmentally friendly furniture. My boundaries are limitless as I design rustic, western, lodge, and contemporary rustic furniture for both indoor and outdoor living spaces.
I have been with AdenWorks Ltd., a wholesale teak furniture company, for nine months. I have had the opportunity to design chairs, beds, nightstands, dining tables, coffee tables, hutches, and chests since I have been here. Last week we launched our brand new upholstered furniture line. (more on that later)
The journey to this position as a furniture designer has been in the making for years now, though I didn’t even realize it. Design has always been a passion of mine, though it has been lived out in many different areas.
I would like for you to get to know me and my story of how I went from a big-eyed college student wandering from one career idea to the next, to a focused and passionate designer for AdenWorks Ltd. I hope that I will be able to keep you filled in on what we are up to here in “Teak City.”
