Meet the Team
Monica
I'm a creator and maker at heart and find joy in the creative process, no matter the medium. From woodworking to leathercraft, painting, cake decorating, quilting, and even dancing...I've done a little bit of everything, and I love it all.
In 2020, after a decade of woodworking experience, I opened Zig's Woodshed on a whim after being invited to participate in a local art market. I thought, "Why not? I can totally do that!" What started as a side hustle quickly grew into a full-time business and an incredible learning experience.
Along the way, I discovered that building great products is only part of the equation. Building a successful business takes strategy, problem solving, and a willingness to keep learning. That's where I found my true passion.
Today, Zig's Woodshed is dedicated to helping makers create better products and build stronger businesses. Through digital files, YouTube, consulting, and practical education, I share the real-world lessons I've learned so you can spend less time guessing and more time building.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your business to the next level, I'm glad you're here. Let's build something great together.
Ziggy
Meet Ziggy - the namesake of Zig's Woodshed - currently serving as the Chief Cuteness Officer. Ziggy is a 16 year old Jack-a-bee (Jack Russell / Beagle Mix) and he loves getting into mischief in and around the shop.
Zig has a woodshed because when going into business in 2020, all the "catch phrases" for woodworking were taken as business names. It was important to that all the social media handles were also available to match our business name so customers could easily find us on any platform. What better way to personalize your business name than naming it after your fur kid? Ziggy was confident it was unlikely Zig's Woodshed was taken as a business name. Turns out - he was right! And Zig's Woodshed was born.
In his spare time, Ziggy likes to show everyone who's boss with his larger than life bark, chase birds in the back yard, and snuggle with his favorite rubber ball.
