My journey into pen making began in 2018 with a simple block of wood, a piece of resin, and a lathe. I had no idea that turning my first pen would become a passion. Watching rough materials transform into something beautiful, functional, and lasting was an experience that hooked me from the very beginning.

Today, every pen I make is handcrafted in my Pacific Northwest workshop. I carefully select wood, resin, and specialty materials from fellow artisans because I believe exceptional pens begin with exceptional materials. Every blank has its own character, and I enjoy bringing that character to life, one pen at a time.

We live in a world filled with disposable things, but I believe some items should be made to last. A quality pen is one of them. It's there to sign a first home, celebrate a graduation, congratulate a retirement, write a heartfelt letter, or simply capture an idea before it's gone. Those are the moments worth remembering.

When you choose a Cascadia Pen, you're not just buying another writing instrument. You're holding something that has been designed, shaped, sanded, polished, and assembled entirely by hand. My hope is that it becomes a trusted companion for years to come—something you'll enjoy using every day and perhaps even pass down someday.
