How it started and were we are going.
I have always enjoyed making things. Be that mixing up something in the kitchen or in a workshop building something that was once just a few rough sketches in my notebook. I have always liked creating, when I was younger it was mostly drawing and sketching things out. As I have gotten older I realized I have a knack for building more physical things, especially out of wood. Taking something that has the potential to be anything and turning it into something that I designed really scratches the “maker” itch in me. Moving from building for personal or for christmas gifts to selling my creations was a big step. Without really knowing it i have been on a path that was bringing me right to this point, then 2020 hit and it gave me the push that i needed to start something new. So jumping in with both feet I started XOC Designs. The name is a little more than just a company name. My hope is that it will one day be my legacy. The “X” is from my oldest son Xavier, the “O” is from my youngest Oliver, and the “C” is from the family dog Castle. What started as a way to just create and build things in my garage turned into so much more. With so much fear in this world I just want to bring a little bit of joy to it and I hope that my creations do just that, after all my creations are just that, “Joy Inspired by You”.
