Who We Are


Ken is the owner and founder of Tender Loving Construction. A life-long builder and maker, Ken was born and raised in a small town in Mississippi. His winding path to the pursuit of creative expression in making things led him to eventually earn a Masters in Fine Arts in Sculpture at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. Following grad school, Ken headed to New York City where he honed his skills in building and client relations within the design and fabrication industry. In 2020, Ken moved with his family to Los Angeles and expanded his building expertise to include residential work. Ken is licensed as a B-2 General Contractor and has over 15 years experience in building, design and fabrication. When Ken isn’t working, he’s still making art and sculptures with his two young, rambunctious children.

TLC is a full service design, build, and construction studio with full capabilities to complete residential, commercial and experiential projects from start to finish.
