My Mission
At Jeff Pass Designs, my mission is to uncover unique solutions that perfectly align with my clients’ visions—think of me as your design detective, but with fewer magnifying glasses and more sketchpads.
Our journey starts with a meeting where we dive into the problem, explore existing ideas, and brainstorm possible solutions. To bring your concepts to life, I rely on a series of illustrations and detailed notes—kind of like a recipe, but instead of cookies, we’re cooking up something truly unique.
I’ll whip up rough draft concepts to ensure we capture all your ideas, followed by refined final drafts that get us closer to the masterpiece we both envision. Once we’ve settled on the final design, I’ll jump into production, keeping you in the loop with regular updates.
This open line of communication and photography allows you to stay informed and provide feedback along the way, ensuring the final product not only meets but exceeds your expectations. After all, I’m not just building designs—I’m crafting dreams!
Who I Am
Our Process
My Mission
I’m an Army veteran who traded combat boots for a carving knife after seventeen years of service—medically retired but always adventurous. Now, I’m a proud dad of three amazing kids and a lucky husband to a wonderful wife who makes this dream possible (she deserves a medal for that alone!).
Growing up, I spent countless hours with my grandfather, also an Army veteran and woodworker. Some of my favorite toys were his simple wooden creations. Our time together in his woodshop, surrounded by books, or enjoying the outdoors taught me the basics of craftsmanship and the importance of following your passion. I became a nature enthusiast with a tool belt!
After my military career, it was time to reconnect with my roots. Armed with a small carving knife and a vision for a wooden cup, I reignited my passion, which has blossomed into the work you see today. Now, I balance family life, creative projects, and sharing my love for the natural world—because what’s better than crafting something beautiful while surrounded by nature’s beauty?

Our Process
I believe in the special connection between artist and community. To share my passion for protecting the environment, I go straight to the source: trees! If you have a recently fallen tree or a sentimental piece of wood, like from a family barn, I’d love to transform it into something new for you to cherish.
Often, my raw materials still sport their bark—nature’s way of saying, “I’m not done yet!” If you’ve got a tree down in your yard, I’m happy to help remove it. Once we bring it to my garage, the drying process begins, followed by some serious woodworking magic. When supplies run low, I team up with local tree service companies to repurpose extra wood.
Not every project is heavy lifting—some are lighter on labor, depending on the scope. For live edge products or larger pieces, I partner with local mills and small businesses to source the best materials from our community.
I also welcome premade products upon request and offer engraving, laser etching, and CNC machining services tailored to your project’s needs. Whether it’s a fallen tree or a piece of your family history, I’m here to help turn it into something truly special!
