mover,
maker,
curious as can be.
Hi pals,
I'm Heidi. I'm not sure where I would quite position myself
- artist, designer, sculptor, furniture maker, story teller?
Overall I am a wildly curious person whose neurodivergence leads her to experimenting, poking and prodding, and often doing things in my own found ways. I love being alone, and I absolutely love working alone. I am deeply imaginative and feel so grateful for this moment in my life, where I have found myself in the position to day dream all day long, with the resources and freedom to bring those thoughts into reality.
​
All of the furniture that I make is made of solid wood, natural fibres and is designed and made with my whole heart in Vancouver BC.
​
I’m formally trained in cabinetry and joinery by way of BCIT with an industrial design degree from Emily Carr. I’ve been woodworking for nearly 10 years now, however my curiosity around making furniture dates back as far as I can remember. I’m a structural thinker who is super duper visual (sometimes painfully) - you’ll likely catch me staring into space, strategizing and thinking deeply about projects, order of operations, joints and whathaveyou.
I worked as a BIM tech in the parametric architecture industry while in school, and then I designed furniture for Article for a few years. There in my last role I lead casegoods in a special research project where I designed a pretty robust casegoods standardization system, parametrically, with hopes of introducing repairability to the pretty heinous fast furniture world. Try and change it from the inside, right? Although it didn’t all get carried out, I’m really proud of the work I did there.
Corporate was tough for a neurodivergent gal like me, and I’m so so so fucking hyped on being able to do what I’m doing now- making bespoke, quality furniture with intention and emotion that will hopefully outlive us all.
Here we goooooo!
