About CUD Design

Hi, I’m Carter. I’ve always been drawn to creating physical items, whether that meant cutting complex grip tape patterns onto skateboards, sculpting with ceramics, or prototyping chairs with hot glue and foam board from the dollar store. As long as I can remember, I’ve been driven to bring ideas to life. That obsession found an outlet after college.

My girlfriend and I were subletting a house while we looked for an apartment. We also needed a bed frame. Conveniently, in the basement of our sublet, I found a circular saw that was approximately 100 years old. With that saw, I built us a bed frame. Fast forward to today and that girlfriend is now my wife, and my experiment with woodworking is my profession.

I build high-quality custom cabinetry, heirloom-grade furniture, and interior woodwork for homes and businesses across the state. Each piece is the subject of my obsessive attention through the entire build process, from rough-sawn lumber to finishing and delivery.

I’m based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
