About Us
Origin Story
At Agrado, our story is one of passion, creativity, and collaboration. It all began with a retired Marine and a creative writer coming together to explore a shared love for craftsmanship and artistry. What started as a simple collaboration on making paddles soon blossomed into a flourishing partnership that expanded into a diverse range of creative endeavors.
As a retired Marine, my husband brought discipline, precision, and a keen eye for detail to the craft. His dedication to perfection and his love for woodworking laid the foundation for our creative journey. Together, we delved into the world of crafting, constantly pushing the boundaries of our creativity.
With my background as a creative writer, I brought a unique perspective and flair for storytelling to our projects. Our collaboration sparked a symphony of creativity, inspiring us to explore new avenues and create beyond traditional boundaries. What began with paddles evolved into a stunning collection of coasters, charcuterie boards, and a myriad of home decor pieces that reflect our passion for artistry and innovation.
Our creative pursuits didn’t stop there. We ventured into crafting seasonal pieces, infusing our creations with the spirit of each occasion. From charming Christmas ornaments to delightful seasonal decor, we poured our hearts and souls into every piece, infusing them with warmth and joy.
At Agrado, we are more than just artisans. We are storytellers, dreamers, and partners in creativity. Our journey is a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty that emerges when passion and craftsmanship intertwine. Join us on this creative adventure, where every piece tells a story, and every creation is a masterpiece in its own right.
We believe in expressing gratitude and appreciation through our creative works.
