Rachel is a self-taught furniture maker. Starting her company from nothing, to now having a year-long waiting list for clients wanting new builds. 


And yes, along her journey she learned how to make amazing furniture, but she also learned how to build a business. How to build a brand. And how to recognize her achievements and use them to turn her company from once barely holding on, into the success that it is today. 


Follow along as we talk about the importance of being the face of your business, what sustainability in the woodworking industry looks like, overcoming imposter syndrome, and much more.
