The Studio

A workshop where sawdust and source code share a bench.

KC Davis Studio is a one-bench operation rooted in East Tennessee, where the Smokies meet the Cumberland. We work across mediums because the same hands that join wood can frame a shot and ship a site — and the stories that matter rarely live in just one of them.

Every project starts with a sketch on paper, a walk in the woods, or a conversation that goes long. We choose few clients on purpose. Anything worth building deserves the room to be made well.
