Tiggs has worked as an artist and craftsman in the St. Louis region for 20+ years. A combination of frugality and environmentalism led him to explore possibilities of utilizing discarded materials to offer practical solutions for everyday living. He recognizes the essence of discarded objects and the path that renders them with new purpose rooted in practical and beautiful forms. Tiggs showcases crafts made from reclaimed materials at the local Tower Grove Farmers and Artisan Market and through community builds days that share his practice on a large scale through the Tiny House of Benton Park West project.
