Trevor + Kylie 🌱


As a woodworker, photographer, and explorer, I enjoy pushing my capabilities and discovering new ways of experiencing what this world has to offer. With my technical background and growing connection with nature, I find joy in learning from nature and applying it to how we live, grow, and create. My goal is to continuously improve my craft and create pieces that reflect the natural beauty of our region. I find immense satisfaction in transforming raw, often unruly materials into finely crafted, functional art. I hope to share my love for woodworking with others and inspire a deeper appreciation for sustainable, locally sourced products.

Kylie Oakley
I love all things related to our natural world. It isn’t difficult finding the beauty in nature, so I love it when the opportunity presents to make material what our beautiful planet provides. Whether it’s making bespoke wooden jewellery, macro photographing an adorable jumping spider, or making delicious food, nature is where I find my centre. By collaborating with Trevor, I hope to bring creativity and mindfulness into every piece we create. I am passionate about promoting eco-friendly practices and helping our community appreciate the value of handcrafted, sustainable products. Together, we strive to make a positive impact on our environment and community.
