About Nate Boscaljon and Boscaljon Design Co
Nate and Anna Boscaljon embarked on their woodworking journey in 2016, beginning with the creation of their first coffee table. Their passion and skill quickly turned into a thriving business, leading to the official launch of Boscaljon Design Co in 2019. Prior to this, Nate had a career in financial planning, and Anna was in veterinary medicine. However, the significant growth in revenue by 2021 allowed them to transition into full-time entrepreneurship.
The Boscaljons have shown remarkable success in various aspects of their business over the past two and a half years. Anna has been instrumental in the marketing domain, amassing over 100,000 followers on Instagram. This popularity not only boosted their brand’s visibility but also led to lucrative partnerships with prominent woodworking brands. Nate, on the other hand, has been the driving force behind the design and execution aspects of their work. His skills have enabled them to place their products in both commercial spaces and private homes.
Boscaljon Design Co offers a wide range of products, including custom furniture, cabinetry, toys, and home accessories. They cater to a diverse clientele, meeting the needs of both retail and wholesale markets with their unique and high-quality woodworking creations.

J. Rieck Music has experienced considerable growth since its inception. It now features a retail outlet that provides a variety of stringed instruments and a separate facility dedicated to services and custom creations.
