about US
the pura vida story
Our Passion is Creating Custom Spaces
Pura Vida Creations was founded in 2018 with a simple set of
woodworking skills and a few recycled pallets. The name “Pura Vida” comes from
Costa Rica, where I was born and raised. While it literally translates to “Pure
Life,” it’s so much more than just a saying—it’s a way of life. This mindset
shaped my upbringing: a dedication to hard work and the belief that nothing is
truly complete until it’s perfect.
What started as crafting small DIY projects with reclaimed
wood soon blossomed into a full-time Custom Woodworking business during the
heart of the COVID pandemic. Since then, my business has evolved, offering many
more services, and I’ve had the privilege of serving hundreds of clients across
Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, and Montgomery counties.
When you work with us, you’re not just purchasing a
service—you’re investing in an experience. Our clients become part of the
family, and they’re customers for life. Pura Vida!
