History

Established in 2012.

Hi, my name is Araya (uh-​ray-​uh, like a ray of sunshine). A love of comfort and beauty is what initially led me from my small Minnesota town near the north shore of Lake Superior to the city to pursue a career in interior design; where I enjoyed designing beautiful and functional spaces for home owners for over twelve years, as a Kitchen and Bathroom Designer. After losing my job due to the housing market crash, an enterprising spirit and solid Midwestern work ethic is what led me to create Wind & Willow Home.

Existing originally as a curated web shop of handmade home goods created by other designers, Wind and Willow turned into a brand of its own quickly, after the launch of my own line which started with wooden spoons, followed by wooden salad bowls, cutting boards and mini vessels. Over the next two and a half years I have been growing my line of simple, yet modern home goods which have become internationally recognized for their bold colors, bare woods, and organic textures.
