When I first decided to start my furniture business my first thought was "what will I name it, and what will my logo be?” This is not exactly the first question one should be asking themself when starting a business, but... So after a little thought, I came up with the name Tulipwood Designs, this is a name that works for me in so many ways. Growing up with a mother that not just has green thumbs but green hands, I quickly learned about gardening which, in turn, gave me a great appreciation for Mother Nature. We grew all types of plants; Cacti, Succulents, Leafy types, etc and I got to know a bit. Well because of that, I wound up with a couple of favorites (and the tulip was 1). Next, the furniture that I would be designing and building is primarly wood (the next 1) and 1+1=3... right? So Tulipwood Designs was born.

Next came designing the logo. I wanted something simple, old school, something that might start a conversation. Well, I happen to be a very big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright (the architect) and I've always enjoyed the simplicity of his logo, so I thought "how can I make mine as simple as his?” Then it hit me: put a tulip in his square, so there's a little homage to my man Frank, and an old school styled logo. If you are fortunate enough to own one of my commissioned pieces, you will find a little hand carved tulip strategically placed somewhere on the piece; that is not only my signature, but also a symbol of how much care, dedication, and passion went into the one-of-a-kind functional piece of art.
