Christopher Wood
DESIGNER MAKER FABRICATOR
Hello,
I'm Christopher Wood, a New York based creator and maker specializing in 3D modeling and the design and fabrication of lighting, home decor, and jewelry. I rely on my broad skillset and generalized knowledge base to inform a creative and systematic approach to design and problem solving. I'm a meticulous craftsperson and technician with a steady hand, an eye for both detail and gestalt, and a knack for figuring things out. I'm inspired by the the tools, trades, and techniques of the past and enjoy tinkering with ways to combine them with modern innovation and technology. I am also an aspiring homesteader and short fiction writer.
I am available for contract design and fabrication services. Please contact me by phone or email.
