About
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
Would Work Design is a studio committed to creating beautiful, functional objects rooted in the principle that form follows function. Every design begins with purpose—how it will be used, how it fits into daily life, and how it can quietly improve it. From there, form emerges naturally, shaped to support utility with elegance and restraint.
Equally important is a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Would Work Design prioritizes the reuse of materials, minimizing waste wherever possible, and sourcing responsibly. Each piece is made with care—not just for the person who will use it, but for the world it exists within. The result is timeless, sustainable design that honors both craft and conscience.
Would Work Design also brings extensive experience in interior design, space planning, exhibit design, fabrication, and batch production, offering practical and creative solutions across a range of environments. This includes custom work, repair, and maintenance services for small museums, galleries, and activity centres. Whether it's building interactive exhibits, designing display furniture, or optimizing public spaces, the focus is always on thoughtful, durable, and well-crafted outcomes that support learning, exploration, and community engagement.
Reviews
Aaron took a vague idea and turned it into a bedside unit that fits my mother's needs exactly. The accessible design detail he showed was beyond what we expected.
The retail displays he built for our shoe store are beautiful and genuinely durable. Our customers notice them constantly — they've become part of our store's identity.
Reclaimed materials, thoughtful design, and craftsmanship you can feel. Aaron brought real care to every detail of the piece he built for us.
