About the Brand

I started making small woodworking projects for myself; I’ve always been a DIY-er. If I can find a way to do it myself, I will. I love learning and trying new things.

The combination of creativity + working with my hands and power tools is such a fun part of woodworking for me.

I’ve moved around a lot in life and in my career and I’ve arrived at a place of creative entrepreneurship that I truly enjoy and feel blessed to be here and have this livelihood.

I started this business on a whim. It was 2020, during *the pandemic*, and I decided to throw a few listings up on Etsy and see if anyone else had an interest in my work.

It took off a lot faster than I had anticipated. I’m thankful for the people who support me today and especially those who supported me in the early days.

Two years later I’ve taken the leap from the corporate world to dedicate myself full time to this small business. It’s taken a lot of hard work and determination, but I never let anything stand in my way.

Carpenter Katie Co. is a brand defined by simplicity, natural beauty and mindfulness.

My focus is to build pieces that are meaningful and of great quality. Something that can stand the test of time and will be a staple piece for years to come.

My aesthetic is classic, organic and simple. I allow the beauty of the wood to speak for itself. I love everything to have a very earthy feel.

My top priorities in running this business are sustainability, minimizing waste and giving back to my local community. I also aspire to engage future generations of women and girls in the field of woodworking worldwide.
