- About
Amanda Yoder was born and raised in a small town outside of Raleigh, NC to a family of DIYers. After studying musical theatre at East Carolina University, she moved to NYC to continue pursuing a career in the performing arts. When the world turned upside down in Spring 2020, she left the big city and settled in the mountains of her home state, where she and her husband Blake adopted a Victorian farmhouse and opened Cultivate Garden Shop. Amanda soon completed the Professional Crafts program in Wood at Haywood Community College, and she is now the owner of Coda Wood Studio, designing and making modern furniture and homewares with an old soul. Her work has been featured at the International Woodworking Festival (Design Emphasis Finalist, 2022), Artfields (Exhibition Award, 2023), and the International Society of Furniture Designers’ Innovation and Design Competition (1st place, Student Dining Room, 2023).
