Philosophy

Sustainability isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

Every piece starts with materials destined for landfills. Old-growth lumber from demolished buildings. Glass fragments from broken windows. Wood charred with centuries-old Japanese technique.

The result: furniture that carries history in its grain. Minimalistic. Adaptable. Built for the way modern life actually works.

"Providing furniture and art that flows with the client's style is my passion. My goal is to bring practical, unique pieces to a space."
— Whiz, Founder of Residual Designs
Meet the Maker

From handing tools to her father — to building furniture that ships across the country.

Whiz grew up watching her father and grandfather build. She learned by observing, not by textbook. A finance degree brought opportunities, but sawdust always won.

Now operating from Tampa, she serves clients across Chicago, Los Angeles, and beyond — crafting pieces that bridge eras and cultures while reducing the strain on our resources.

What gets thrown away becomes what stays

Every piece of reclaimed wood carries a hundred years of weather, use, and character. We don't erase that history. We build with it.
