Billy grew up in Texas learning the trade from his father, supplemented later with advanced courses, time working alongside a German master upholsterer, and many years of experience at Colorado's premier furniture houses before opening his own custom shop.

 

Donna earned a BA in English from Penn State, and worked in writing, editing, teaching, and international travel. Wherever she went in the world, she collected fabric for

the sheer beauty of it. She translates her lifelong passions for fabric and design into her work with Billy. They share

a love of functional art and cutting-edge design.

​

Billy lived in Colorado for thirty years and Donna spent twenty years there, where they owned an upholstery shop and furniture design business among the Rocky Mountains. In 2010, they traded the cold Colorado winters for the warmth and beauty of Hawaii, where their business continued to thrive. They began 2025 by moving near

Billy's hometown in Texas to be closer to family and fulfill

their ultimate dream of lakeside living at

Richland-Chambers Reservoir.
