Light, heat, and timing.
Hand-blown and kiln-formed glass — functional and sculptural. Each piece begins with molten material and ends with an object that holds light the way nothing else can.

Start a Conversation

Let's Build
Something Together.

Whether you need dependable bookkeeping or a commissioned work of art — the conversation starts the same way.

The Ledger
How We Work
Four stages. Complete transparency. You always know where your books stand.
01
Review
We look at what you have — current books, past filings, receipts, software. No judgment. Just a clear picture.
02
Setup
Clean chart of accounts, organized categories, connected bank feeds. The foundation for everything after.
03
Maintain
Monthly reconciliation and clean closes. Your books stay current — not a year-end scramble.
04
Report
Quarterly summaries in plain language. P&L, balance sheet, and what the numbers mean.
The Design
Commission Process
From first conversation to finished installation. Every piece is built with intention.
01
Concept
We talk about the space, the vision, the materials. What story does this piece need to tell?
02
Design
Sketches, material samples, scale models. You see it before it's built. Revisions happen here.
03
Create
Fabrication begins. Glass, fiber, metal — each medium on its own timeline. Progress updates at milestones.
04
Deliver
Final piece delivered and installed. Care documentation and a conversation about the work.
