Happi Buffalo was born from a shared belief that art should feel personal, grounded, and lived with.

Rooted in Buffalo, New York, our work reflects a balance between strength and calm, tradition and modern form. Each piece begins as a sculptural idea and is refined with care, restraint, and purpose, resulting in collectible objects designed to feel at home in the spaces people love, not compete with them.

My wife, Tamika, has long been deeply connected to the community through mentorship and her work as an advisor at a local university. Her perspective shapes the heart of what we create, reminding us that objects carry meaning when they connect people. With my background in technology and customer experience, I approach each piece with precision, curiosity, and respect for the collector.

While our process is rooted in modern fabrication, the focus is never on the tool. It’s on the outcome, form, presence, and feeling. We believe the quiet details matter. Finish matters. Proportion matters. How something makes you feel when you live with it matters.

Happi Buffalo is not about volume or chasing trends. It’s about creating objects that represent resilience, abundance, and connection, pieces meant to be kept, displayed, and appreciated over time.
