1x1 Creative Works was born from a unique blend of experience, passion, and purpose.

The founder, a combat veteran named Jake, returned home with a mission beyond his healing.

He envisioned a place where craftsmanship met community service, where each piece of wood transformed into art could also transform lives, and where each piece would be equally beautiful and useful.

Having served his country with honor, Jake found solace in woodworking during his transition back to civilian life.

He often spent evenings in his garage, crafting furniture and decor, each project helping him process the challenges he faced as a veteran and to combat the unrelenting pressures of daily life.

Alongside his sons, Gabriel and Luke, they began to build 1x1 Creative Works.

From the very start, Jake and his sons decided that a portion of their proceeds would go back to local community initiatives and churches.

They believed in the power of giving, understanding that their success was intertwined with the well-being of their neighbors.

Today, 1x1 Creative Works stands as a testament to the power of resilience, community, and the simple beauty of handcrafted woodwork. Each piece is not just a product; it’s a symbol of hope, healing, and the unwavering spirit of giving back. Jake, Gabriel, and Luke continue to inspire others, reminding everyone that great things can be built from the smallest of beginnings—like a single piece of wood—especially when done with love and purpose.
