About

NATURAL MATERIALS, ANCIENT TECHNIQUES & NEW TECHNOLOGY

Kelly Rivas is the creator of Moonfinder. Growing up in the wide-open spaces of Texas she developed a deep love of nature and the big night sky. Always being obsessed with the movements of the moon her folks nicknamed her Moonfinder. After receiving a fine arts degree she has pursued a life of creating and likes to continuously challenge herself by learning new techniques and processes to incorporate into her designs. She is now grateful to be residing on the Big Island of Hawaii with it’s endless beauty to inspire her most recent work. 

OUR PROCESS

With a focus on creating unique, stylish and functional products Moonfinder uses a variety of natural materials and ancient crafting techniques like marquetry, leather working, and marble painting. We juxtapose these processes with the new technology of laser cutting and etching. Each piece is assembled, dyed, and finished by hand with great attention to detail and craftsmanship.

SUSTAINABILITY

Moonfinder cares about our footprint and feels that one of the best ways to prevent waste is to create beautiful, functional products that will last a long time. We strive to always use sustainably-harvested, or salvaged wood and leather, and we only use safe, non-toxic finishes.
