Our Story


Cabin + Cub creates laser cut wood fashion accessories as well as a line of laser cut wood art and gift items. Inspired by the Canadian landscape, our designs draw on wilderness, wildlife and classic Canadian symbols. Other influences include vintage graphics and illustrations, as well as children’s books. 

Cabin + Cub Design was founded in 2006 by Valerie Thai, an art director and graphic designer by trade. Her design work specializes in art direction, print design and illustration for socially conscious and sustainable companies. Prior to creating her own company, she was the award-winning head designer and art director at Adbusters Magazine for five years running. She currently is the art director at This Magazine
