About me
My Story
Born at a strange intersection of the Covid pandemic and my restless college years, this started as a personal hobby that later grew from my ambition. While others turned to bread and routine, I went in a different direction. Something slower, more tactile, and far less reasonable for my budget: leather.
What started as an expensive curiosity quickly became a necessary outlet. I needed something physical, something I could shape, control, and understand through my hands. Vegetable-tanned leather offered exactly that: resistance, response, memory. It pushed back, and in doing so, it taught me.
Over time, the material stopped feeling separate. Leather became an extension of skin and carrying expression, holding tension, reflecting intent. It marks use, absorbs experience, and evolves with it. A second skin that I cant live without.
Everything I make carries a bondage aesthetic, but never as decoration. The utility is always clear, always intentional, and always encouraged. These are objects designed to be used where form follows function, and function is part of the experience.
There’s an artistic element to the work as well. Each piece sits somewhere between object and expression.
Everything is made by hand. Nothing is accidental.
My Work
Workshop Jackal focuses on impact tools, bondage gear, and leather objects built with clear intent and considered design.
Each piece begins with function. Impact tools are balanced for purpouse and response. Bondage gear is constructed for reliability, fit, and clarity of use. Nothing is ambiguous, how an object is held, worn, or used is part of its design, not an afterthought.
Material matters. I primarily work with vegetable-tanned leather to create pieces that hold structure while adapting over time. They mark use, soften where needed, and develop character through interaction.
The work carries a distinct visual language, rooted in restraint, tension, and form. There’s a bondage aesthetic throughout, but it’s always tied to purpose. Lines are clean, edges deliberate, and details are there to support both use and presence.
At the same time, each piece is treated as an object of expression. There’s an artistic consideration in proportion, finish, and how the piece exists in space or on the body. It’s not just about what it does, but how it communicates.
Everything is handmade. Everything has a purpose.
Workshop Jackal is still early, still forming. What started as a personal outlet during the Covid pandemic has become something harder to step away from, and harder to treat as just a hobby.
The next step is expansion: reaching out, building connections, and actively engaging with communities and events where this work belongs. Not staying isolated in process, but placing the work into real spaces where it can be seen, used, and understood.
Networking is part of that growth, meeting makers, practitioners, and communities who operate in adjacent worlds of craft, fetish design, material work, and embodied experience. The aim is to learn from those spaces while contributing something distinct back into them.
This can’t remain a side practice anymore. It’s becoming a structure of its own and something that demands time, focus, and commitment. A direction rather than a distraction.
There’s an intensity to it as well. The work, the materials, the ideas around use and expression don’t sit at the edges of life anymore.
WorkshopJackal is moving toward being the centre of that focus: a practice built on connection, presence, and sustained engagement with craft and community.
