About Lauren

In my 7th grade wood shop class in 1990, I discovered my love of woodworking, and in particular, the scroll saw.  With the guidance of my teacher, I designed and built my first wall hung jewelry display.  Decades later, after college and during a career in the financial industry, I felt a strong pull to make more space for creativity in my life and returned to woodworking.  I began assembling my own workshop and started selling my designs through word of mouth. 

Over the past 15+ years, I have come to love the problem-solving, experimental and playful nature of woodworking, and through it, I've discovered my own creative voice.  My goal is to continue exploring and trying new things so that the joy of creating with my hands never fades.  While the scroll saw remains the anchor of my work, I have recently added a laser machine to my workshop to introduce a new dimension to my design process.  Inspiration can come from anywhere, but I’m most often drawn to the shapes, patterns, and textures found in nature, and the interplay between positive and negative space.
