Holy crap you're still here!

So you want to know more about me? Well, I'm a saw dust addict, caffeine enthusiast, professional hot mess, and the maker behind everything you see here.

What started as a side hustle to reconnect with my love of woodworking (thanks to high school wood shop and growing up watching my dad) has turned into a full-blown business where I get to create custom pieces that make people smile, cry happy tears, or occasionally wonder if they should stage an intervention for my sarcasm.

After years of chaos (and a career as a paramedic that gave me dark humor as my second language), I’ve traded offload delay for sawdust. Now, instead of patching people up, I spend my days building and engraving one-of-a-kind gifts — from nursery signs and wedding décor to laser engraved drinkware, and all the little custom treasures in between.

I’m not perfect (far from it), I swear too much, I run on sarcasm and eclectic playlists, and I’ve got two feral kids and one ridiculously handsome firefighter husband keeping me on my toes. But here’s what I am: real, loyal, and absolutely obsessed with making your custom order perfect. Everything I create is made with a mix of hustle, heart, and probably a little ADHD-fueled chaos.

So take a look around! Whether you need a personalized gift, a sign that makes your house feel more like home, or something custom just for you — I’ve got you. And if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, slide into my inbox. I love trying new things (and occasionally biting off more than I can chew).

Thanks for being here — and welcome to the hot mess express that is Hustle and Heart. 💕

    Jena went above and beyond!!!
    She created a beautiful wedding sign for mom on short notice and exceeded expectations! Her communication was amazing, and her talent for what she creates is remarkable!

    Definitely will be ordering from her again, and will recommend her to others!

    Hustle & Heart Custom Wood Decor went above and beyond for my growing family. Highly highly recommend!

    We ordered a birth sign for our baby which included the name, and a spot to write our babies date, time, weight and height for the hospital and within 24 hours they provided a mock up with various fonts and ideas! They had a very quick turn around time and were so lovely to correspond with. Their final product is absolutely beautiful.

    With my order they included a beautiful box and milestone monthly disks that matches my order just from the generosity of their own heart.

    I will 100% be using them again for future orders and recommending them to everyone and anyone!
