DECLAN BIRKENHEIER

My Beginnings

Born in Toronto, Canada, I am a woodworker and designer who crafts custom pieces of furniture. I lived on a sailboat for my entire upbringing. My parents homeschool my brother and I so we could travel and get a chance to see and learn from the world. As I move forward with my life and career I have shaped my ideologies and practices into not only sustainable furniture, but products that are unique and welcoming of their surroundings. Now at 22 years old I am on my way to completing a Bachelor in Craft and Design from Sheridan College soon to be venturing out into the working world.
