Welcome to Board & Measure,
a unique small business founded by a passionate Deaf & CODA (Children of Deaf Adults) team who share a deep love for culture and a flair for craftsmanship. We take pride in crafting exquisite ASL-inspired products out of wood and acrylic materials, each one meticulously designed and handcrafted with love.
Our Story
Board & Measure was born out of a need and desire to give Elijah (Mark’s son) items that symbolized our culture around our home. The journey really began when friends and family started encouraging sharing the things we made with the rest of the world.
Our founders, who are deeply immersed in the Deaf community, wanted to create something tangible that would empower Deaf individuals and ASL enthusiasts to express themselves and their identity through unique, handcrafted items.
Our Team
Board & Measure is driven by Mark & Emily Jo. Our diverse backgrounds and shared passion for celebrating where we come from combine to create a vibrant and creative atmosphere that infuses every product we make with authenticity and care. We believe that our team's unique perspective allows us to create products that resonate deeply with the Deaf community while also educating and inspiring those outside of it.
