About

I started Rambler Made as a one-man leather goods shop out of my home workshop in the suburbs of Kansas City in 2019. I’ve always prioritized hands over machines, and since the beginning it’s been important to me to use honorable suppliers, authentic practices, and as little machinery as possible.

This craft has allowed me to cultivate meaningful friendships near and far as well as years of self-discovery, both of which are some of the most valuable experiences of my life.

I’m proud to create slowly and creatively in a world so infatuated with speed and ease. Every product carries little imperfections; marks of the maker left as a steady reminder that your purchase came from the hands of an artist.

I still operate out of my home workshop, where my beloved cattle dog interrupts her afternoon snoozes to watch me work, and my partner & love of my life, Peyton, pops in to offer unsolicited (but helpful) opinions and to grab a Kopiko, our favorite coffee flavored hard candy.

I’m deeply grateful for people like you for being curious about my craft and allowing me to keep stitching, burnishing, thrifting, and curating all while calling it my livelihood.

Got a bone to pick?
