Who we are
Ryan Warner
Founder, Designer, Carpentry Lead
Ryan, a Bay Area native and Berkeley grad (go Bears!), followed his passion for woodworking and apprenticed under a master carpenter/contractor in San Francisco for 5 years. Taking his knowledge of woodcraft, engineering and meticulous design with him to Los Angeles, he and Ari decided to set out on their own and create Warner Woodcraft. Ryan is the lead carpenter and designer who will plan and fabricate your custom pieces.
Ari Graham
Co-founder, Designer, Business Lead
Ari is a multi-media artist with a flair for interactive and aesthetic design. She is a fine finishing and painting virtuoso as well as the co-founder and project manager here at Warner Woodcraft. From the East Coast originally, Ari moved to the Bay Area 4 years ago and was lead project manager for a residential construction company.
Ari will be your point person as you work with us to create your custom pieces.
Warner Design + Build was born out of a garage and a dream in the Bay Area. Ryan and Ari had the vision of creating accessible, usable art out of sustainable materials and quality craftsmanship. They took their years of carpentry and residential construction knowledge to the test and made the leap, moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco and co-founded Warner Woodcraft.
Warner Design+Build fabricates hand-made custom pieces, taking your ideas and aesthetics and building them into reality. We are dedicated to creating gorgeous, timeless pieces that you’ll love and that will last. Quality is in our DNA and that’s what you get with us. We have a deep commitment to environmentalism and to sustainability which is why we source our lumber using reclaimed wood and eco-conscious suppliers. We want the best for our clients, our products and our world.
