JEFF'S BIOGRAPHY
Jeff likes to say he's been lucky to have a family of eclectic talents to gain his ability to produce original art work and to fix and fabricate furniture.
He knew right away being an artist and a craftsman was his calling. Receiving a BFA from Atlanta College of Art in 2001, Jeff remained in Atlanta and started working for a furniture design and import company where he met the other half of WML, Chris Hagen.
From the start, Jeff was ecstatic for his first opportunity to produce original custom furniture and he began to master his ability to visualize furniture fabrication.
Jeff embraces the challenge of creating custom pieces with a conviction that "if we can draw it, we can make it." Jeff applies his love of creating and obsession with perfect craftsmanship to each and every project.
Together he and Chris have worked towards making WML the standard of consideration, design, and execution for the custom furniture experience.
