N. Clay Cua

Owner

An early love for creating and building lead me to pursue different design avenues in art and industrial technology. Obtaining a BFA in Industrial Design at the Columbus College of Art & Design equipped me with the necessary skills and techniques to found, own, and operate Oakmond. Specializing in designing and creating custom artisan furniture utilizing mixed mediums is what I do.
