Exclusive designs, made with love in North Carolina

Our very first product, a map of Raleigh, North Carolina, where Lignin & Light was born!

Lignin & Light is a boutique maker of unique gifts and decor in Cary, North Carolina. Everything we make is designed in-house by myself or my wife, hand made with pride and care, and shipped to you directly from our workshop.


I'm Dan, a former computer scientist turned artisan. My wife Julia is a former veterinary technician that loves crafting colorful, unique designs. Together we relocated from the northeast to the south, joined the vibrant local maker and crafting scene, and started this business to share our very best unique products with the world. We hope you'll love them as much as we do!


We are able to cut, engrave and print almost anything on wood, plastic, leather and other natural materials. We can create cutting boards, keychains, magnets, awards and all kinds of great client and employee gifts for business, real estate, etc. Please use the "Contact Us" button to get in touch about custom or bulk orders!
