Our Founder, Brandon Knowlden, grew up about an hour north of Detroit. After a lifetime of remodeling homes, his parents purchased a dilapidated cabin and built a massive wood shop for their most ambitious rehab to date. During the same time, one of Brandon’s four siblings began a tree service, where we intercepted much of our early lumber from the waste stream. In 2013, Well Made was founded after putting in nearly 10 years as an Art director in the advertising industry.

Over the years we’ve focused our efforts on designing functional, interesting objects for interacting with your art and staying organized in the home. We make things affordable the hard way, trimming out loose ends instead of compromising quality. It’s not enough for our products to only be functional. When you have something made properly, it rarely needs to be replaced. And when something is beautifully designed it becomes a part of something larger than itself. We hope to help you frame interestingly for years to come.
