I began by immersing myself in the family’s story and values, capturing the generational craftsmanship and pride that defines their work. From there, I developed a clear brand narrative and web copy structure that emphasized their process, quality, and connection to heritage. The approach focused on pairing emotional storytelling with functional clarity so the website could both inspire and inform.

Chokecherry Ridge began with a love of tools and a deep respect for craftsmanship. Self-taught and hands-on, we’ve built everything from custom furniture to full-scale home projects — always starting with a pencil sketch and ending with something made to last. Our work is personal, practical, and entirely custom — designed to bring warmth, beauty, and utility to everyday life.

Tagline: Artistry in Wood. Built to Last.
Chokecherry Ridge is a design-forward woodworking and contracting studio creating timeless, custom pieces for people who value authenticity, detail, and craftsmanship. From cabinetry to doors, vanities, furnishings, and full build-outs, every project begins with a sketch and ends with something one-of-a-kind.
The brand is warm, grounded, and confident — a reflection of someone who has earned their skills through doing. There’s no flash, just honesty, mastery, and dedication.
Brand Traits:
Skilled – Years of hands-on work, self-taught mastery
Grounded – Humble, clear, and practical — no fluff
Artistic – Creative, detail-oriented, and design-savvy
Custom – Personalized and flexible, no one-size-fits-all
Approachable – Easy to work with, open, and collaborative

These are the foundational themes that should be woven into all messaging:
1. Sketch to Wood
Everything starts with a vision — a sketch, a conversation, a custom idea. We bring it to life with tools, technique, and time.
2. Self-Taught, Master-Built
Years of hands-on experience inform every cut, joint, and finish. This is craftsmanship earned, not taught in a classroom.
3. Made for Real Life
Our pieces are built to be used — not just admired. Durable, beautiful, and timeless, they’re designed to live with you for decades.
4. Fully Custom, Always
Whether it’s a coffee table or a kitchen install, no two projects are the same. We design around your space, needs, and ideas.
5. Beyond Furniture
From standalone builds to full contracting services, we bring the same quality and attention to detail into every layer of a project.
