The Man Behind Northgate Laser Creations

Todd- your laser artist!

Our Story

Growing up learning woodworking with my father, I had an early interest in making beautiful art with my own creative twist. I have explored many art forms such as designing & making wooden handheld games, plexiglass puzzles cut from my scroll saw, & custom furniture. I have fond memories of creating crafts with my four daughters, such as Christmas tree decorations out of shrink-wrap, pipe cleaner, or whatever else we could find.

I have spent the last three years living life on the road from my converted van, fitted with wooden cabinets that I made with my father. I have been traveling around the country for work & have traveled to most contiguous U.S. States. I have a love for traveling, trying new things, & finding new outlets to spark my creative interest. Three years later, I am ready to get off the road & settle my life back in Minnesota with my family. I am excited to explore my newest niche of laser engraving.

Before opening the shop, I spent the previous year perfecting my craft by creating pieces for family & friends – ranging from garden signs for my parents, earrings & gift card holders for the Rourke Museum’s craft show, matching flasks for my daughter’s friend group, & a LOT of everything for my other daughter’s upcoming wedding.

Our shop will provide you with handcrafted, laser-engraved, & laser-cut items designed specifically for you based on your own vision. We are a family-owned & family-run shop that will design & craft your items with lots of love & care.
