About

Founded in 2014 by Julie Jackson, Surcle now consists of Julie and Jonathan Meador. Surcle strives to make the highest quality products that will last, add beauty to surroundings, and bring joy. The work they make is confined by conservation, focusing on the use of wood that is from fallen trees or reclaimed from other purposes. 

With a degree in the Environmental Sciences and a lifetime of waste consciousness, Julie carefully considers all the resources and energy required to make the art she produces. She's been making things her whole life in all sorts of mediums until she found her favorite - wood! She loves discovering the unique grain, coloring, and density for each project she makes. She started her journey in woodworking with an apprenticeship in 2014 under an LA furniture maker specializing in making furniture out of reclaimed wood. While she is still involved in building furniture, she is mostly behind the lathe, turning wood. She designs all the lighting and home decor and makes everything that is round. 

While spending most of his 20s touring in bands, Jonathan has always been a creative, filling notebooks with drawings, dreaming up ideas, and playing every instrument there is. He is the one behind the furniture designs. He draws an idea, renders it to life digitally and then works out all the kinks to make a structurally functional beautiful design. Julie facilitates the build and they both bring the furniture to life. Jonathan is all about jigs, efficiency, and creating best practices. He's streamlined their packaging and shipping processes, build process, and design process. He is most likely the one you'll be communicating with and will guide you through the design process for your project.
