Hi, I'm Jennifer!

I grew up surrounded by and heavily influenced by creativity and making. My mom dabbled in everything creative, from cross-stitching, to food art, to building dollhouses. I have fond memories of her bringing out the special craft box on snow days and working on a craft kit together. Ever since I've also tried my hand at many crafty endeavors.

​

Fast forward to 2012 when Pinterest was the hot new thing. (Does anyone else remember when you had to be invited by a friend to join?) I made all kinds of boards with inspiration and all these fun ideas. Most things I couldn't really make as I didn't have the tools necessary to get what I wanted. From an idea I saw on Pinterest, I made myself a simple jewelry holder. I showed it to someone and they said, "You could probably sell that."

​

That night, ElegantQuirk was born.

​

I got started on Etsy and assumed I could probably sell a few, but the shop started growing in popularity. People were purchasing MY creations and loving them! I couldn't believe it. I absolutely loved coming up with new ideas. The very best part was when people would reach out for a custom design. Making their dream a reality was so good for the soul! 

​

I did all this with basically a hammer, nails, and superglue for years. I did the best I could with what I had. Then one day, I got a scroll saw and everything changed. All those pieces of art I had been dreaming of doing with the custom shapes were now a reality. Anything I could dream up, I could do! Now I LOVE making handmade custom wood decor for your home or business! 

The best part about all this, is that anything YOU can dream up, I can do.

Let's make some dreams come true!
