Hi everyone,
My name is Jazz, and I'm excited to join the Leathercraft Masterclass community!
I hail from Hong Kong and have been working in product design for many years. My professional life revolves around creating and developing various products, focusing on both aesthetics and functionality. While my career keeps me immersed in the world of design, my true passion outside of work lies in leathercraft.
For quite some time now, I've been enjoying the process of creating various leather products as a hobby. I find immense satisfaction in working with this material, from selecting the hides to the meticulous steps of cutting, assembling, and the final stitching. It's a wonderful blend of creativity and tangible craftsmanship.
Now, I'm looking to take my leathercraft journey to the next level. My goal is to combine my extensive product design experience with my love for leatherwork to design and create truly unique and interesting products. I believe that a strong design foundation, coupled with a deep understanding of materials and user experience, can truly elevate handmade items, and I'm eager to explore new ideas, share insights, and learn advanced techniques with all of you.
I'm looking forward to learning from and contributing to this vibrant community. Please feel free to say hello!
Welcome Jazz! I look forward to seeing your work.
What area or type of products do you work/design? I have always been in awe of designers. To create something beautiful and functional seems to me to be quite the challenge. I’m pretty good and making functional things but beautiful is another story! 😂
Hi Jazz, welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here. I'm sure your professional training will come in handy, and I look forward to seeing what leather items you create!
