About

Hi! I’m Tiffany, owner of Bend Crafters Company. I’m a proud Oregonian who grew up in the Portland area and moved to Bend in 1993 to be a ski bum — though that chapter didn’t last long! After a year living in Honolulu, I moved back to Oregon toattend the University of Oregon — Go Ducks! — graduating in 2002. I returned home to beautiful Bend, where I’ve happily stayed ever since.

I spent several years working alongside my mom selling sewing patterns, which gave me a strong foundation in small business and customer connections. In 2022, everything changed during a drive home from Southern Oregon. After passing the familiar recreational icons and Forest Service signs I’d seen thousands of times, I had a simple thought: Would people buy these? I started by making five replica signs — and they instantly sold out. Then 10… then 20… and the rest is history.

Today, I create 30–40 handcrafted replica Forest Service and recreational signs each week, from custom designs to customers’ favorite spots across Oregon and the United States. When I’m not in the workshop, you’ll find me hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, and exploring some of my favorite lakes — continually inspired by the outdoors that sparked this journey in the first place.
