Peter studied philosophy and business, and after taking time to study wood and metal sculpture in 2015, he began pursuing his passion for making and repairing things. Over six years he specialized in designing and prototyping products for local custom furniture manufacturing.

His love of problem solving and value engineering drives him to explore how local manufacturing can produce more efficiently so that more things can be made locally.

Coming from a background in Theatre Production and Design after studying in Wales, Danny started his own prop making business once back in Vancouver.

She has always had a Maker mentality and loves nothing more than working with her hands to help bring a dream to reality.
