DESIGN JOURNEY
THE BEAUTY OF HANDMADE
Here at Wood With Words, we cannot imagine a world without the warmth, connection and the humanly touch of handmade. Every piece is made individually, in small batches, right here in Australia.
MEET THE DESIGNER
Hello art lovers — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Joni, the hands and heart behind everything you see on this website.
Every piece starts with a sketch, drawn by me using my trusty Apple gear and a whole lot of love (plus coffee — always coffee). After years of keeping my creative side quiet, I finally gave it space to grow — and now, this little business is a blend of art, nature, and meaningful design.
Some of my favourite projects involve designing for non-profit conservation projects, heritage gardens, and national parks — places that inspire and preserve beauty in equal measure. You can also find my work in a growing number of beautiful gift stores across Australia, which is both humbling and a little surreal.
If you're around Vermont, feel free to pop by and pick up your order.
Thank you for supporting this creative journey.

HAPPY, HAND-DRAWN DESIGNS
If you're reading this page, you're my kind of person - a conscious shopper.
You are not only about the good stuff, but you want to know who makes it, where it comes from, and you want to be sure it aligns with your values.
At Wood With Words, you'll find only positive, mood-boosting designs. If I can make your day a little better with a pair of earrings, I've done my job!
Keeping production in Australia is great, but that's not all. I support and source from other small Australian businesses as much as possible for components such as quality earring hardware.
I am also committed to ensuring your unboxing experience is plastic-free by using 100% post-cosumer recycled paper earring cards, recyclable cardboard box and paper-only fillers, as well as compostable shipping satchels.
