About Me

Welcome to Becker Handmade. I’m Joel Becker, the owner and maker behind this unique collection of handcrafted items.

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, I spend my days as a building science engineer and project manager, but my evenings and weekends are devoted to my passion for sewing and creating.

I’ve been sewing since 2016 and have a passion for creating a wide range of projects, from bow ties, to the warm and cozy quilts, and one-of-a-kind bags. Becker Handmade started with a simple idea: to make bow ties for myself to wear to swing dancing events. But it wasn’t long before others took notice and wanted their own! I received my first bow tie commission in 2016, and since then, I’ve been on a mission to bring my creative vision to life through my handmade items.

If you’re looking for something truly special and unique, I’d love to chat with you about custom commissions. Contact me and let’s discuss the details of what you have in mind. Thank you for supporting Becker Handmade and my passion for sewing!
