Our Mission

At the core of Lonoke Designs is lifelong friends with a shared commitment to making things the right way, by hand, with care, and close to home. Our mission is to create products that reflect quality workmanship, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the people who use them.

We believe that well-designed, well-made tools can elevate your daily life. From walnut trays to leather wallets and wool desk pads, each piece is crafted with intention and full of purpose. We want to help you surround yourself with essential pieces that feel personal, useful, and beautiful.

 

How we began...

We grew up together in Texas and have always enjoyed building, drawing and creating. Afters years, stuck in corporate jobs that left us unfulfilled, we longed to be creative and do something meaningful for us and our families. One afternoon we asked the question, “What if we made a business doing what we loved?”

We turned our shared hobbies of woodworking, leather work, desk setups and EDC into a small business. We started crafting handmade desk accessories from materials we enjoy working with and using. We focus on quality, thoughtful design, and connecting with people who value honest craftsmanship. What started as hobbies and a simple idea has grown into building a business that we take pride in, enjoy doing the work, and are excited to share with everyone.
