The Topher Designs Company
It all started in 2019 when my brother and sister-in-law bought a 100 year old beach house on the Eastern Shore at Chincoteague Island. This was a pre-Covid time that is hard to envision at this point but thanks to the confinement of Covid this company came to life. I began decorating my brother’s beach house with custom beach themed crafts and it was so much fun to create things like that from scratch. I used my nature photography background and created custom frames to go around my photographs. This went on all throughout 2020 and the beach house turned into a sanctuary for me and my two daughters during the worst of the Covid pandemic. We spent most of 2020 collecting all sorts of beach items like shells and driftwood to help create the magical pieces in my brother’s beach house. By the start of 2021 I had maxed out the space in my brother’s beach house so someone said that I should sell my creations. This idea led to the creation of Topher Designs and Photography. I decided to rent a booth at the local craft fair on Chincoteague Island and it was a huge success. The craft fair success continued for a while and this helped me transition into a line of custom river tables. I started small by creating a set of beach themed end tables for a friend and now I create full sized custom dining room tables for clients. This is truly a passion that allows me to spend time with my two daughters showing them how incredibly gratifying it can be to create something from nothing and have someone else love it as much at you do. In a world of technology it is nice to see that people still appreciate something that is crafted by hand.
