The Builder
Meet Chase –
I'm Chase. Some say I'm a man of many trades. I took my degree in marine biology and learned to appreciate the earth for everything that it is. My interest in woodworking was first sparked by my fascination of coral reefs. I spent three months of my early twenties below the ocean's surface planting, protecting, and repairing coral reefs with the Coral Restoration Foundation. This experience taught me how important it is to protect and restore our earth in every way that I can. I now spend a lot of my time teaching students exactly what it means to appreciate the earth, and sharing sustainable practices.
​
I took up woodworking on a whim and have turned it into my new passion. I spend countless hours ensuring that my work is not only well designed & crafted sustainably, but also inherently beautiful, just as the earth intended for it to be.
​
I create custom projects, built to fit your lifestyle. Whether its a desk, a table, custom cabinetry and built-ins, or a charcuterie board, I can help you create a beautiful piece that functions for your space and reminds you to appreciate the world around us.
The Duo
BuildxDesign
We're Chase & Lauren: the faces behind the name. We are a husband and wife duo who love to build, renovate and DIY, with a passion for design and basically everything in between. We have a daughter and two golden retriever "shop dogs" that make our family whole.
​
Lauren is a designer that assists in the consultation process of many custom projects, and is often the one behind the camera for any photography. She's pretty great at choosing colors, textures, and fixtures to fill your space and build the aesthetic.
