hey there, tenaya here!

​

art is my jam — it’s how i connect with the meaning of life. with a legacy of builders and crafters passed down through generations in my family, i have always been that kid who couldn’t resist the allure of creativity and finding ways to express it. there’s something magical about crafting with my hands; it is like giving a piece of my soul a cozy home. i have done it enough to know it is how i want to live. 

​​

it took a leap of faith to step away from societal norms in a radical way, but i was far too inspired not to pursue this as a line of work. over the years, i have taken on various projects that have allowed me to grow and stoke the passion you will find in my work. i have always been eager to challenge overconsumption and seek solutions by salvaging wood and keeping it out of landfills. by transforming reclaimed wood into cherished works of art, i aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the environment and promote mindful consumption.​

​​

running my business makes me feel whole—i’m my own team, juggling all kinds of roles. my hat collection is wild! i’ve got a hat for every job—literally and figuratively (and yeah, the collection is getting out of hand!). from creator to builder, artist to photographer, and crafter, it’s the perfect mix of love what i do and do what i love, and i wouldn’t have it any other way. through boldher shop, i have the honor of connecting with incredible people from all walks of life. when you ask me to create something that will be treasured and preserved forever, it moves me to no end. each piece i create is a testament to the journey i have traveled—raw, real, and bursting with passion.

​​

hand me your ideas, and i will bring them to life.
