OUR STORY

We Make A Great Team

While growing up in Philadelphia, I spent my days with my best friends. My evenings were filled with drawing, painting, and crafting, which fueled my passion for art. I later expanded my skills to include woodworking. When I was 36, I attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia and graduated with a degree in Graphic Design.

I always dreamed of owning my own business. In 2015, I founded BerkArt Designs in Churchville, PA, just outside Philadelphia. My wife, Cindy, and I live in a charming Victorian home built in 1858. The carriage house behind our home serves as my woodshop, the third floor is my art studio, and the basement is my paint shop.

I welcome every challenge that comes my way. My designs have become increasingly meaningful and personal as a result. I view each project as an opportunity to learn something new and refine my skills in creating high-quality pieces. Reinventing my craft and pushing my limits keeps my work fresh and original.

Feel free to browse my handmade collections to get a sense of what I can create for my customers.

Whether you choose to browse, purchase, or appreciate my work, BerkArt Designs is grateful for your support. Thank you for stopping by!
