About Whimsy Woods Co.

It Began With Plants

Whimsy Woods began with a search for plant supports that combined function with style and became part of the room alongside my collection of climbing plants. I couldn't find any that felt quite right ... So I started making my own. About ten failed prototypes later, I had the beginnings of Whimsy Woods Co.

Growing Beyond the Garden

What began with plants gradually grew into clothing and other artful goods, connected by the same things I have always loved: nature, color, craft and a little unexpected character.

 

I make the wood pieces myself here in California, slowly and in small quantities. Some other pieces begin with my own artwork and are brought to life with skilled makers, while others are thoughtfully chosen for their craft, color or story. Together, they reflect the things I love and the ideas that keep finding me — all with the hope of bringing a little more art and character into everyday life.

That, to me, is artful living.

Making Space for the Maker

I spent years working in technology, but the maker and artist in me kept asking for more space. Eventually, I decided to give it some.

I’m also a mom, so Whimsy Woods gets built around school hours, late nights and everyday life. It’s still a work in progress, and perhaps that’s part of the joy of it — I’m excited to see where it grows from here.
