Our talented team!
Amy Gates - Creative Director
As a natural host who loves a cozy home, Amy started feeling like there weren't very many options for truly unique and personalized home decor items. It was all starting to feel the same. She knew she didn't want something mass-produced that would fall apart in just a couple of seasons and she couldn't find the authentic, handmade creations she desired....so she turned to her own sewing machine! Now two years later, her line of popular embroidered throw pillows and home accessories runs the gamut from personalized leather cabin themed pillows to the personalized cattle brand accessories that have become her trademark. From cozy, soft blankets to stunning accent pillows and wall decor, every zipper and stitch still comes from our own hands and heart.
Corey Gates - CEO
Corey Gates is a seasoned woodworker whose passion for woodworking has evolved into a refined skill and artistry. Specializing in a wide range of wood types and products, Corey has transformed his love for the craft into a respected and admired talent. His creations, which include everything from gorgeous furniture to home decor, are celebrated for their quality, craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal. We are blessed to have so many of his creations in our homes and workshops.
While working toward "retirement", Corey has a distinguished corporate career in IT and systems management. This experience has equipped him with the strategic and operational skills necessary for his dual role as the CEO of Home and Hearth. His background in technology and systems management provide a unique perspective that enhances the efficiency and innovation of The Home and Hearth, while still maintaining the beauty and quality we stand for.
With many more products on the horizon, Corey Gates continues to push the boundaries of woodworking, bringing his creative vision and technical expertise to life in every creation. We can't wait to offer his beautifully crafted items as part of our prodcut lines.
Victoria Wilczek - Social Media Manager
Victoria's talents elevate the Home and Hearth's brand visibility and engagement. Her distinct personal style and the creativity she brings to life are reflected in the dynamic and engaging content we all love scrolling through every day. With the creation of our special fan club, you will see lots of "goodies" coming your way from her clever and spontaneous social media content very soon. When she's not celebrating the newest product design on Instagram, Victoria can be found spoiling her husband as well as their beloved pup, Captain. They hail from Aurora, Co and we love having them so close. And ps - she's our oldest daughter! We love keeping our company a family affair.
