Our Team

Cameron Schiess

CEO / Co-founder
Innovator of hand crafted furniture

“My favorite part of work is being with our incredible artisans as they expertly hand craft each piece into a unique figure that provides us with a sense of great accomplishment.”

Cameron’s designs are inspired by nature and his ability to be both innovative and precise learned from guiding rafting trips down the Grand Canyon and using his commercial pilots license. Although Cameron graduated from BYU in economics, he apparently wasn’t paying that much attention in class, because in 2008 during the great recession, he started Red Fox Furnishings with Lori. Can universities recall diplomas? Possessing both a great sense of humor and a keen imagination, Cameron has a passion for surfing the edges of what is not just innovative but better. He leads and works with the artisans at Red Fox to always create the best quality, best design, and best function for what the client needs.
