Meet the craftsman
Jason is a born craftsman. His earliest memories are shaped in his grandfather’s workshop, learning the discipline and detail of working with timber. At seven years old, he crafted his first piece — a simple timber key ring — the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of precision and craftsmanship.
Jason and his wife Rebecca took on a grand old lady ready for her own transformation; a 1930’s bungalow. Armed with their new and often complex experiences of stripping back the layers of a yesteryear home, and adding heritage-styled details with modern technology, Jason wanted to share these and his craftsman expertise to provide an exceptional experience to customers in transforming their existing home, or help them design their dream spaces in their new build.
As both the creative and the craftsman for Craftsman Cabinets, he’s never too far from his workshop or clients, visualising designs and bringing them to life.
A keen adventure and sportsman, you can catch him down the road at the local fields passing a footy ball around while allowing the creative juice build up; if he’s not renovating or doing something up that is.
The ability to build, shape, remodel, design and construct saw him topping the class in wood work at high school and he was on track to becoming a highly sought-after cabinet maker / joiner. A part-time job during school with a local cabinet-maker set him on the path to construction, and the day he walked out of the school gates for the last time, it was towards his apprenticeship.
Being on the tools in his dream job no doubt came with issues that needed fixing; all part of the territory. But soon enough he earned his spot in 2013 Apprentice of the Year, winning Trainee of the year and the supreme Apprentice of the Year.
Having spent the last 10 years dreaming up design projects for clients, it was his own personal project that helped him discover his calling.
