FOUNDED IN

THE OREGON WOODS

Redroot's Owner/Maker Dustin Jefferis was born in the coastal mountains of Oregon, and has pursued a life of learning & building relationships with the natural world. He holds a master's degree in Ecopsychology, and has many years of training in Western herbalism, all of which guides his business model and design aesthetics.

Building a small American business that offers functional pieces of art reflecting the materials of natural world is an honor, and an important piece in his goal to live more closely with what sustains him.
