ABOUT
My name is Ian Cooper.
I was born in northern California and moved shortly thereafter to the San Juan Islands in northwest Washington State. San Juan is a very small, rural island with a population that varies between 8,000 in the winter and 15,000 in the summer.
It was there in that small, island community that I first realized my love for working with my hands, and creating something entirely unique from raw, natural materials.
I spent much of my time throughout my high school years, and continued full time after high school, working for my Dad who is a designer and contractor there, building high-end, custom homes.
At the age of 25, I decided that it was time for a change of scenery and moved to Seattle with my girlfriend, who was in college there. I decided to pursue a career in a slightly different field, but one that I am equally passionate about, and joined a great team at Puget Sound Solar as an installer. This was rewarding work and helped me build upon my already existing idea that sustainability is key.
This brings us up to the current time. I am now 27 years old, and have gone back to my first love: woodworks.
Each piece of furniture that I design and craft is a complete one-of-a-kind. Every slab of wood has different characteristics that inform the design, and guide my hand while shaping it into a unique piece of art that I am proud to introduce to you and your home.
It is with this love and pride that I have created Cooper Woodworks.
