Over twenty years ago, I walked into a tiny 250-square-foot studio while apartment hunting in the East Village. I remember thinking, I can make this a good place to live. Although this space would probably be considered a walk-in closet anywhere else besides New York City, with some well-placed built-ins and furniture, it became a pleasant and cozy home. This solidified my belief that every space has hidden potential, no matter the size. After a decade in woodworking, in 2007 I started Urban Homecraft because I didn't just want to build things; I wanted to make homes more functional, beautiful, and livable. My philosophy is that with the right design and planning, any space can become that one place in the world you enjoy coming home to more than anywhere else. 

Since then, Urban Homecraft has grown mostly through referrals from clients, including Apartment Therapy's CEO and founder Maxwell Ryan. Collectively, we are able to tailor each project according to our clients' specific needs, budget, and preferences. We believe that nothing will fit a space better, and realize its full potential, than something built especially for it. We get excited knowing that no two projects are the same, and relish the human element of design; especially the collaboration we build with our clients in creating the unique details for each space.
