About the Maker

Hey, I'm Emma Willis-Brocksmith and I'm the gal behind the bench. Born and raised on Hoosier soil, I've been making my living working bovines and tapping on hides since 2019. I grew up on a livestock operation in southern Indiana and found my love for beef cattle while studying Animal Sciences at Purdue University (Boiler Up!). Cattle country was calling my name post-grad and that's what led us to the Nebraska Sandhills. 

If I'm not at the leather bench, you can certainly find me outside. I love a good paddleboarding sesh with my pups, sunsets with my hubs and baby boy, and a good cup of coffee. I'm an animal lover, a music junkie, and I just can't bake if it's not from scratch.

I appreciate you being here and I hope you enjoy my silly little art <3
