About

For more than 27 years, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting violins, violas, and cellos by hand. Each instrument is a unique journey, and I continue to find joy and inspiration in every piece I make. My goal is to build instruments that not only sing with clarity and warmth but also inspire the musicians who play them..

My journey began when I started playing violin at age seven. I vividly remember my first visit to a violin maker’s workshop with my parents to rent a quarter-size violin. The atmosphere, the tools, the wood—the entire world of the workshop captivated me. From that moment, I knew I had found my vocation.

At the age of 15, I enrolled in the renowned École de Lutherie in Mirecourt, France, where I spent five years studying the art of violin making and restoration. After earning my diploma in 2003, I worked in several workshops, including those of Olivier Pérot (Montréal, Canada), The Sound Post (Toronto, Canada), and Urs Wenk Wolff (Oslo, Norway).

In 2006, I moved to Denmark and joined the workshop of Jens Stenz where I worked for 7 years. Encouraged by him, I returned to making new instruments in 2007.
Since 2014, I’ve run my own workshop, where I focus exclusively on creating violins, violas, and cellos for musicians around the world.

Collaboration and exchange are essential for me. I regularly participate in workshops such as the Oberlin College Violin Makers’ Summer Workshop (USA) and the Brandenburg Violin Makers’ Workshop (Germany). I have also had the privilege of working closely with Frank Ravatin many times, gaining invaluable insights from his vast experience. I’ve also had the joy of building instruments with colleagues, including violas and a cello with Elià Fabré, a viola with Ryan L. Soltis, and another with Meike Aupperle.

My work has been recognized internationally with several awards, including a gold medal, two silver medals, and a bronze medal at the Violin Society of America competition and the Triennale Antonio Stradivari competition in Cremona.
In 2025, I was honored to be invited as a judge at the 15th Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Making Competition.

Each instrument I make is the result of years of experience, a deep fascination for sound, and a true love for music and craftsmanship.
