Davis has been making objects and teaching design process for over 20 years.

“I have spent years evolving my craft in furniture making by pushing the boundaries of digital tools as part of the making process.  Driven by curiosity, I continue to develop my artistic voice as I learn along the way. My inspiration is very similar to the pursuits in the Art Nouveau Movement: A pursuit of nature, feminine form, and  beauty.
