The Artist

Artist Cinnamon Brûlée hand burns and chars the outer portion of each wood surface to create a modern version of the traditional Japanese finish.

How it Works

  • Yakisugi was developed in Japan to preserve wood by creating an outer surface that resists fire and insects.

  • Traditional Japanese heat treatment process; charring technique provides a cost-effective way of weatherproofing homes.

  • Heat treatment improves longevity by preventing decay and insect infestation. Wood is mostly structural lignin and cellulose carbohydrates; food for fungi and insects. Heat treatment also case-hardens the wood, reducing moisture content, making it dimensionally stable.

A blend of zen environment and spicy energy.

I am not sorry my best self intimidates you. That’s on you. Not on me. I am joyful. I am kind. “I comfort the disturbed. I disturb the comfortable.” Yes, I have receipts.

We are all trying to protect our inner core. And we add carbon kryptonite armor. A hot mess of push & pull attraction causing chaos. Yakisugi sculptures represent our humanity trying to protect our inner pulp while trying to withstand what nature throws at us.

Yakisugi” translates to “burnt cedar”. “Yaki” means burnt, charred, or heat treated. “Sugi” refers to the Sugi Cypress tree indigenous to Japan (often called “Japanese Cedar”).

How do you want to show up every day?

Joyful. Laughter. Full of Synchrodestiny.

I help highly educated people remember childlike joy amongst the serious responsibilities of grownuphood.
