Read MoreThe Surf Coast of Victoria is a real hub for creativity and ingenuity. It’s a community we’re very proud to be a part of. As a small business ourselves, we know how hard it is putting so much time, effort and energy (and money!) into getting something off the ground, making a product you’re proud of and finding a way to do something you love as more than a past time.
We also believe in supporting those we find inspiring, on both a personal and professional level. Whether it’s collaborating, conversing or cheering on, we have so much to gain from one supporting another and there is always something new to be learned or uncovered.

Read MoreHere is a little more about Jesse & Sam, the owner-founders of BFA:
Jesse is a qualified cabinet maker, having started his apprenticeship in 2006. He has had a couple of ‘trade breaks’ for either travelling or his two year stint as a full-time skydive instructor. His favourite aspects of being a joiner are working with his hands and seeing his designs come to life. Jesse has worked in shops - retail and offices, houses, airport and vehicles, obviously.
Ever the keen student, Sam has a Bachelor of Arts (International Studies), a Bachelor of Commerce and is currently studying Interior Design. Her degrees have all taken her longer than they were “supposed to”, taking time off for plenty of travel and adventures, such as marrying Jesse over in Coronado, CA, giving birth to their son and daughter, starting a business, a gap year or two .
