About Us
At RC Studios, I find beauty in furniture that others walk past — pieces worn by time, marked by decades of living, and quietly waiting for someone to see what they still could be.
Driven by passion
At RC Studios, my mission is simple: to take timeworn, forgotten pieces and recast them into something that carries genuine character, craftsmanship, and lasting presence in the spaces they inhabit. I believe restoration is an art form — one that demands patience, a sharp eye, and deep respect for the materials. Every piece I create is one of a kind, because the story it carries always is.
"This isn't just furniture. This is what it looks like when something gets a second chance."
Where it all began.
It started in my early teens, on job sites alongside my stepfather and his carpentry business. Power tools, raw materials, the smell of sawdust at seven in the morning. I learned how to work with wood, how to restore what others had discarded, and — more importantly — how to see what something could become rather than just what it was.
"That world got into me early, and no corner office ever got it out."
Those years weren't just about carpentry. They were about learning to see. To look at a worn edge, an honest proportion, a piece with real weight — and know immediately that it had more to give.
Building someone else's vision.
I built a career in corporate travel — deadlines, boardrooms, the constant hum of an industry that never slows down. By most measures, I was successful. But no matter how far that career took me, I always came back to the same thing: the satisfaction of making something real with my hands.
For two and a half decades, I carried both lives. The professional and the maker. Most people who knew me in one world had no idea about the other. The suit came off on weekends. The tools came out. Something always got built.
"I spent 25 years building someone else's vision. It was time to build my own."
Then came the moment of clarity. Not frustration — clarity. I walked away from corporate and founded Recast Collection Studios. Not as a hobby finally given room to breathe, but as something I had been preparing for my entire life without quite knowing it.
Every job site I worked as a teenager. Every weekend project. Every piece I couldn't stop myself from looking at twice — wondering what it could become. All of it was leading here.
Today, RC Studios is the place where overlooked pieces find their next chapter. Where decades-old furniture walks out looking like it was made for the room it's going into. Where restoration is only the beginning — and everything after that is a recast.
