Jeremy Porter

I am a designer/maker of furniture in New Zealand. I used to take photos.

I can be contacted by email.

Furniture designer and maker

I run a furniture design studio in Nelson, New Zealand. It's called Hey, Porter — named after a Johnny Cash song. I offer a small product line and am documenting it on the blog.

I studied under some of the world's finest craftspeople at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine, USA. After a few years there I returned to Australia and ran production in a commercial furniture workshop in Sydney. It wasn't for me. In 2019 I launched my own business making commissioned pieces from a shared workshop south of Sydney.

Here's my favourite piece:

Amateur Photography

When I head out on an overnight hike I usually take my camera. Here are a few photos I like. I'm going to learn to print and frame my own.
