Since receiving his degree in Industrial Design from Rhode Island School of Design in 1995, George has spent his career as a designer, builder and educator. As a freelance designer, he has collaborated closely with architectural firms and furniture manufacturers designing and fabricating furniture collections for private cliental, as well as designing, modeling and prototyping for mass production. Being a hands on designer is imperative in the process of refining and developing his designs, from the choice of materials to appropriate fabrication techniques.
In addition to furniture design/fabrication, he has incorporated my love of music and instruments into my practice, building guitars, banjos, ukuleles and dulcimers, as well as a variety of other eclectic instruments utilizing repurposed and reclaimed materials.
In the last decade George has maintained an adjunct faculty position at Rhode Island School of Design since 2003. Currently I teach Spatial Dynamics in the Experimental Foundation Studies (EFS) department. Prior to that, I taught Design Principles and Wood I & II in the Industrial Design department, as well as a course entitled Material Potential in the department of Architecture.
