Winter Ridge Leatherworks is run by Devin Anders (me).

Throughout my career in the entertainment industry I have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing people and fascinating materials. I’ve found myself particularly attracted to weird/unique projects and anything with leather. The more I got into leather the more I became interested in shoemaking, and I fear its a rabbit hole I will never escape. Luckily people do wear shoes a lot and particularly unique ones for stage, screen, and entertainment. Taking an idea from floating around in someone’s mind to being a physical wearable thing in the real world brings me so much joy. I love solving tricky problems and am forever trying to learn more and increase my skills. I named my business after my Dad’s old construction company because he instilled in me so much of what I think has helped me get to where I am. Mostly, do your best, work your hardest, and treat people well!
