Our Story

Built by Arden started with an 8 year old, his saved birthday money, and an idea to build something of his own.

I’m Dyllan, Arden’s dad. Together, we’re turning that idea into a woodworking business, one project and one lesson at a time. Arden is learning how to plan builds, buy materials, serve customers, and put his earnings back into his business.

For me, this is also about time together. I lost my dad when I was 19, and I don’t have pictures or videos of us together. Documenting this journey is my way of making sure my children have those memories and always know how much I love them.

We’re learning as we go, working through mistakes, and taking pride in what we create together.

Thank you for following along and supporting Arden’s first business. Every order is part of his story, and the memories we’re making along the way.
