ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Darsh is a Product Designer by day and dabbles in his rolodex of hobbies outside of work, from woodworking to leatherworking. His love for the art of building and creative problem-solving has been a constant throughout his life, as he was always tinkering and constructing things from a young age.
In 2021, on the hunt for a unique groomsmen gift for his 17 groomsmen, Darsh watched hours of YouTube videos on how to make a leather wallet. This rabbit hole led to what is now DAK Leather.
Today, Darsh crafts a wide variety of leather goods, finding particular joy in the creation of unique, one-of-a-kind custom pieces commissioned by customers.
