About the Maker

Ottawa Valley Creations is a small-batch studio founded by Miranda, a gender-nonconforming maker guided by the landscape and spirit of the valley itself.
Their work honors the handmade — imperfect, tactile, full of life — and the stories that come from living close to the land.

Every creation is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that meaning can be found in the simplest things: a flicker of light, a well-woven word, the way something made with care feels when held in your hands.

The Story of OVC and Me

OVC began as a way to share handmade pieces and stories that feel personal, purposeful, and a little bit magical. Each creation is made with intention — whether it’s a handcrafted item, a limited-edition design, or a story that lingers long after it’s read.

I believe that making things by hand is its own kind of storytelling — one that connects people to place, to memory, and to each other.

Each piece made under the OVC name carries a little of the valley — the slow rhythm of the river, the quiet beauty of rural Ontario, and the care that comes from making something by hand.

For me, craft is a way of listening — to the world, to memory, and to the stories that live in everyday things. Every candle, charm, and written word is shaped with that same patient attention: honest work, meant to bring a bit of warmth into the world.
