For Ellen, Furniture is seamlessly intertwined within her life. To quote her directly, “I am a mother, I am a wife, I am a woodworker, I am a woman, I am not one without the other”. That passion for one's craft is impressive and commendable. Rarely do people find a vocation that draws them in with such strength, but for Ellen, she can’t picture her life any differently.



But when one finds themselves so fully immersed in something it can sometimes be hard to look at it with a critical eye and it becomes especially hard when it is your business and your livelihood on the line. Yet, Ellen has found a way to navigate this, to do what she loves and also be successful at it.



Follow along as we talk about being an artist and a furniture maker, how to price your work the way you want to, how to balance family and your business, and much more.
