My inspiration came from watching a self-taught woodworker share her story on Instagram. After watching all of her highlighted videos until 1am, I told myself that if I felt that same passion the following morning, I would dive right in and give it a try myself. Sure enough, the next morning, I got up, went to Home Depot, bought a miter saw and some wood, and went to work. I have been building every day since!
Hey, hey, hey, my name is D’ondra, Founder of Workboots and Glasses, Custom Furniture Maker, Woodworker, DIYer
“For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to learn how to build furniture, but was afraid of the power tools.”
I am a military (Air Force) wife who is married to my high school sweetheart. We have three daughters who keep us on our toes with their unique personalities that all require distinct parenting styles. Being a mother has grown me as an entrepreneur by helping me better identify and address the various needs of my clients, ensuring that each individual voice is heard and valued.
I love that woodworking allows me the flexibility to invest in my family while igniting my entrepreneurial spirit.
