Formed in 2018 by Gina Kim and John Geating, the two collaborate on many projects while offering individual contributions throughout. As designers and makers, the hands-on experience of creating is inextricably tied to the form each piece eventually becomes.  They are constantly building on the self-taught techniques and traditional approaches they have aquired over the years.

The goal is to create things that are true. Whether it is a 2D piece of art, a purpose built piece of furniture, or something in between, the truth always comes out. The balance of form and function is an ever present challenge that will never cease to inspire creativity.  Leeward offers a collection of thoughtful pieces of furniture and art designed and hand made in their shop. Alongside these offerings, Leeward works with commercial and residential clients to design and build custom cabinetry and built-in woodwork. 

Gina studied textile design at RISD and has been making art since she could hold a pencil.  Check out her personal art [here]. John is a self taught woodworker. They live and work together in Abington, PA.
