My Story

My journey to founding Acorn Designs was an unconventional one. Perpetually a “square peg in a round hole”, desperately searching for answers - the only certainty I came to know was the feeling of solace in art, nature and creative pursuits.
 
Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, it was as though every experience had been perceived through a fog that had finally lifted. With a newfound clarity, I found success on the “traditional” path but there was still something missing. Seemingly fighting against gravity itself, I couldn’t escape the need to create, to build, to pour my heart and soul into something tangible.
 
Through a perfect storm of financial uncertainty, no experience and a “half-assed idea” a coffee table was born. My newfound clarity evolved into 20/20 vision and today, Acorn Designs.
 
Each piece is a reflection of my journey, a deep respect for nature, authentic artistry and an ode to a forgotten time of heirloom craftsmanship.
