From College Workshop to National Brand
Founded in 2012 by Ben VandenWymelenberg at the University of Minnesota’s Architecture School, WOODCHUCK USA started with a simple mission: connect people with nature through sustainable, beautifully designed products. What began as handcrafted wood phone skins quickly grew into a nationwide brand, landing in 1,800 Target stores within six months.
Today, together with his wife Zoie and a passionate team, Ben continues to expand WOODCHUCK USA’s impact across luxury packaging, corporate gifting, architectural interiors, and more.
Built for Brands That Expect More
WOODCHUCK USA crafts premium custom wood packaging for brands that expect more than an ordinary box. Every piece we create is designed to elevate your product, share your story, and leave a memorable impression.
