The Story
BEHIND OUR BRAND
First of all, thank you for exploring my site. Without your support and interest, S.G.R.Z Design wouldn’t exist.
My brand is all about creativity, quality, and natural elements. S.G.R.Z was born from my love for building and aspiration to create something to share with you. This section will give you a glimpse into my story and what motivated me to embark on this journey.
MEET SAMANTHA
Hello! My name is Samantha. I’m the owner and full-time operator of S.G.R.Z. I have four adventurous children who are my inspiration for chasing my dreams (and them!). Silas is my oldest (9), followed by Greyson (7), Reign (4), and Zaria (2) ~ S.G.R.Z
Woodworking, home decor/design, and crafts have always been a passion of mine. I started building furniture in 2014. Some of you may have seen my work when I operated Littlefoot & Me.
People often ask, “What made you get into building furniture”? My first piece was a farmhouse table that I replicated from Pottery Barn. I loved the table but wanted a unique finish they didn’t offer. So, I decided to head over to my local lumber store in Cleveland, OH, and give it a shot. My first build was a success. Though I’ve certainly come a long way since that build, it is still one of my favorites and has aged better with time.
Once I finished the table, I built another for a friend: various beds, entertainment centers, coffee tables, wine bars, etc. In 2016, inspired by my son Silas, I started my own custom-built furniture business, Littlefoot & Me. Fast-forward a few years, a few more kids, a mini-break from building, and here we are. Now, it is more challenging to build large pieces with four babies. So, I've transitioned into creating smaller pieces I can make from home. This has allowed me to continue following my passion and be present as a mother. I wanted to keep the business name around my children, so I landed on S.G.R.Z, which has my heart.
I hope to create a unique custom piece for you one day.
Best,
Samantha
