Meet the Maker

I’m Brady, an engineer with a passion for making things that last. I grew up in Bend, Oregon and now live in Newberg, where I spend my time running, mountain biking, rock climbing, and creating. When classes went online in 2020, I found joy in leatherwork. My new hobby became North of Zion, a small leather goods brand rooted in craftsmanship and creativity. What started at my kitchen table has grown into a passion that allows me to express myself, work with my hands, and connect in my community. 

Handcrafted Design

Every piece is made by hand, from cutting and stitching to burnishing and finishing. I believe in crafting products that have tangible quality and gain unique character with age. That's what makes handmade different.
