Stéphanie (she/her/elle) has recently joined the OTL family as the Outreach and Events Coordinator. Her charisma, positivity, and all-around coolness is sure to bring people together!

She started to be really serious about woodworking during the pandemic, building small things in her garage. Being limited on space and not having access to the big power tools, she developed skills doing charcuterie and cutting boards, bandsaw boxes, frames, some epoxy work, and even Kimiko woodworking.

Stéphanie is merging her woodworking passion with her career skills of training delivery and facilitation of events by offering workshops at OTL. Her objective is to make woodworking accessible to everyone, no matter what your skill level or knowledge is. She promises fun and judgement-free classes that will allow you to ask any question and go at your own pace. Pssst: you won't want to miss her upcoming workshops - find them below!
