Designer

It all started with a hammer — not just any hammer, mind you —Thor’s hammer. Winifred had a vision for a project, a iron crafting of Thor’s hammer; and after following up on a recommendation for a local blacksmith, she met Dean Rose. Three years and many collaborations later, they made it official and tied the knot in 1999.

When Winifred is not busy working on one of her books, she can be found in the workshop with Dean adding her artistic skills and creativity to each project.
