Our Story: Crafting with Passion in North Vancouver

Welcome to Tundra Designs Canada! We're Colleen and Blake, the proud co-founders behind this Canadian-owned and operated company, nestled in the heart of beautiful North Vancouver.

Our journey began with a shared passion for the natural beauty of Western Red Cedar and a vision to create truly unique, high-quality products. Blake, with his deep roots in forestry and a skilled carpentry background, has always been drawn to the integrity of locally sourced materials. Meanwhile, Colleen brings her knack for connection and clear communication to every interaction. We realized that by combining our strengths – Blake's hands-on expertise in crafting and Colleen's dedication to connecting with our customers – we could build something special, right here at home. From those early ideas, Tundra Designs was born, driven by a commitment to quality, sustainability, and authentic Canadian craftsmanship.

What We Stand For

At Tundra Designs, our mission is simple: to create lasting pieces that bring a touch of nature's beauty into your life. We are deeply committed to:

  • Local Sourcing: We meticulously select our Western Red Cedar and other materials right here in Canada, supporting local communities and ensuring the highest quality.
  • Handcrafted Excellence: Every item is carefully made with attention to detail, reflecting our dedication to superior craftsmanship.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Your happiness is our priority. We strive to create products you'll love and provide service that exceeds your expectations.

And of course, our beloved "official product sniffer," Tundra, is always on hand for rigorous quality control – she takes her job very seriously!
