Project Hex is a line of expertly crafted tabletop gaming accessories, designed to look beautiful and last forever. I created four products each with a cohesive hexagon based design: the Hex Tower dice tower, Hex Tray, Hex Vault dice storage and Hex Deck card storage, each of which is available in six different beautiful domestic and exotic hardwoods.
Over the last few years I have fallen in love with the tabletop gaming community and met so many awesome, friendly and supportive people. Utilizing my years of woodworking experience, I was inspired to create a set of dice and gaming accessories and give back to the community.

Who Am I?
From an early age I have considered myself a maker. Over the years I have relentlessly pushed and challenged myself, regularly improving my skills. I have been extremely fortunate with opportunities to create countless projects on many mediums. I have worked with a little bit of everything from woodworking, metalwork, welding, 3D printing, CNC milling, laser cutting, to digital work such as 3D modeling, software and game development.
I studied Architecture Design and Construction Management at the University of Washington, where I was able to regularly push myself and experiment with new techniques and develop my personal style. After graduating in 2014 and working for several commercial general contractors I gained invaluable engineering and project management skills which I can leverage during this campaign.
During this time I began completing increasing amounts of commission work on the side for friends and coworkers. In 2019 I created Studio One Three as the demand grew and required a more organized way to handle projects.
My primary expertise is in woodworking, with projects ranging from conference tables, furniture, camper van conversions, to guitars, ukuleles and tap handles. The common thread between all my work is pouring my heart and soul into each and every project, challenging myself to improve and produce the best quality work possible.
As I met more people along the way, I was introduced to Warhammer 40,000 and my first few sessions of D&D. I quickly fell in love with the entire tabletop gaming community because of how welcoming and accepting everyone has been so far. Searching for a way to utilize my skills as a maker to give back to this community fueled my inspiration for Project Hex.
