■Profile of the creatorI'm both a backgammon enthusiast and a dedicated handmade artist.
My journey with backgammon began in the late 2000s when I stumbled upon a backgammon board in a second-hand store. Over almost two decades, I've honed my skills. Still, I believe there's much room for improvement, and I continually strive to enhance my abilities.
Influenced by my wife, a ceramic artist, I've developed a passion for handmade crafts. Through her artist friends, I've been exposed to various artisans, enriching my understanding of creation. The birth of my son ignited my creative spark, leading me to delve into crafting backgammon boards and accessories. Collaborating with my teenage son, who has become a skilled backgammon player, on cube designs has injected new energy into my creations.
