About

About the maker

Midday Builder is a one-man furniture shop based in Wisconsin.

I handcraft modern furniture with clean lines and minimalist details. Everything's built in my shop from start to finish—no shortcuts, no mass production.

I'm still learning and growing as a maker, documenting the journey as I go. You'll see the real process: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Building furniture is problem-solving, and I think there's value in showing the process.

My goal is simple: create furniture that's beautiful with intention.

Let's discuss your project

Whether you have detailed plans or just an idea, I'd love to hear about what you're thinking. Most projects start with a conversation about what you need and what's possible.
