Meet the Maker
ay hello to Drew Graham, founder of SwitchWood. Graham started his career as a full-time artist in DC, working with sculptures and other handcrafted artwork when he started focusing on sustainable, wearables. “I started my career by making sculptures out of wood and these sculptures had a lot of scrap material leftover afterwards. I tried coming up with ideas of using as much material as I possibly could, so the scrap turned into bow ties and cufflinks… and then came SwitchWood.” Graham took a year of development before solidifying his first ever wooden product, the bow tie. He put in a trademark application, officially kickstarted the product in 2014, and the rest is history.
Graham said his favorite part of SwitchWood is working in various industries: “I’ve worked with a lot of cool companies like Jack Daniels, Mount Vernon whiskey, The United States Capitol…the collaborating is the best part of the gig.” Dairy Block is proud to have Drew as part of its urban shopping destination for the community to enjoy!
