Meet Our Team: The Heart of Our Craft

At Doug and Cristy Designs, we don’t just build furniture – we build lasting relationships. Our team of dedicated craftsmen has grown together over the years, creating more than just handmade reclaimed wood pieces; we've built a family. Through hard work, shared meals, and countless memories, we’ve cultivated a healthy, supportive work environment that reflects in every piece we craft.
