Wes is an East-Bay based artist and metal fabricator, born and raised in Southern California with family roots in the Bay Area.  He started welding and fabrication through working on large-scale metal art installations with several different art collectives.  After several years of creating small metal sculptures of his own, he was inspired to start his own small business in architectural metal fabrication. 

His shop in Richmond, Yzzo Studios, specializes in functional yet artistic installations. Wes has collaborated with a wide range of clients to design and build beautiful gates, railings, and other architectural installations.  Using his knowledge and experience in fabrication, Wes has recently expanded his skill set to include production design and 3D CAD modeling, and is now back in school part-time pursuing a degree in Industrial Design.
