I'm Amelie:  A recovering perfectionist with a penchant for puns and handplanes. Before I learned woodworking and traditional boatbuilding in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, I worked in healthcare.

​

I started Amelieorate in order to have more opportunities to design and build for others.

​

My goal is not merely to make objects that satisfy need.  My goal is to create objects that improve and inspire creative processes in others:  adults, kids, makers, thinkers, teachers, learners.  The best project, for me, is one that helps you to care more, to connect more, and to create... better.

​

Since August 2020, I am also a member of De Vakvrouwen, an Amsterdam-based collective of professional furniture makers and designers.  If you are looking for something other than what I offer, please check them out.

If you have an inspiration that you would like to turn into an Amelieoration, please contact me via email:
