Meet Lou…
I was a mechanical engineer in the Navy for 17 years but a chronic illness has taken me down a different path. Finding book binding (hello patterns and puzzles) gives me something meaningful to put into the world.
Plus, I get to make books that you sell to your customers, gift to special humans, or that you fill and proudly display on your bookshelves, to treasure forever. There’s a reason I look so happy.
