HOW IT ALL STARTED
After a decade of honing my craft in the bustling city of London, working with prestigious companies in the industry, I began to feel the stirrings of a new dream - one of building something entirely my own.
During numerous idyllic holidays spent in Bulgaria with my partner a Bulgarian local, immersed in the rich culture and breathtaking landscapes, I found myself drawn to the tranquility and potential of this beautiful country. It became clear that this was where our future lay.
With a leap of faith and a determination to follow my passion, I decided to invest my savings into renovating a home and setting up my own woodworking business - Haynes Studio Woodworking. This venture was not just about starting a business; it was about embracing a new way of life, rooted in creativity, craftsmanship, and the beauty of Bulgaria.
