Hi, I’m Ryan,

The owner and a self-taught artist and woodworker at Heart & Saw.

Believe it or not, I used to be a dental assistant! Crazy, right? Despite coming from a family of carpenters—my dad, brother, and uncle—I learned the craft on my own. Over time, I’ve developed a passion for scroll saw work and love exploring new techniques in the shop. Logos, mosaics, and artwork are what I thrive on, and nothing excites me more than when someone gives me a general idea and lets me run with it.

Heart & Saw was born during the pandemic, starting with furniture flips. But it didn’t take long for me to realize I preferred creating from scratch. Soon enough, power tools took over, and I left my dental assistant days behind without a second thought.

Creating for others brings me so much joy, and it’s truly my calling. Each piece I make is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and designed to bring happiness to your space. I’d love to help you create that special piece you’ve been dreaming of—something unique to your story and style.
