ENGINEER, MAKER, WOOD WHISPERER

Since childhood, I have enjoyed technology, tinkering, and creating things. As a young adult, I focused my passion on a degree in computer engineering.

I like to dream up projects and figure out how to bring them to life. I apply skills I've learned in my engineering degree and career, like problem-solving, materials, and attention to detail, to create functional and aesthetic pieces of work.

The word "Cruthaigh" (pronounced Crew-He) is meaningful to me as it represents a link between my family's Irish heritage and the verb "to create." I like doing this every day.

I also enjoy taking people’s visions and ideas to life.

Whether that's a custom sign for your business or a kitchen utensil for your home, creating something functional and beautiful from raw materials brings me joy, and hopefully, my work will bring you joy, too.
