About
Growing up in Dallas, Texas in a melting pot of different people and ideas, and where everything was so far away from everything else, Drew had plenty of time to think, imagine, and draw. He was 11 when he first learned woodworking, metal working, and the basics of design, and where he figured out what he enjoyed doing in life: making things. After living in Japan, graduating high school, and moving across the country, he got his degree in Product Design & Material Studies from the College of Design at the University of Oregon where he further developed his passion for the arts, education, and furniture.
He currently lives in Denver, Colorado working on office, home, and restaurant interiors and designing mid century furniture, flat packed furniture, and games.
