Every project starts with people — passion, creativity, and care.
At Riverwood Crafting Co., you’re not just hiring builders — you’re partnering with a team that brings decades of combined experience in design and construction.
Based in Victoria, BC, we work closely with homeowners from the first sketch to the final nail — ensuring each project is handled with care, transparency, and expertise.
Dany Mantecon
Dany, an Industrial Designer from Mexico, has been immersed in art since childhood, starting as a painter and muralist as a young adult. After earning his degree in Interior Design in Montreal, he moved to Victoria, BC, where he honed his skills as a sculptor, creating original pieces and casting resin molds. Dany extends this artistic vision to every project, from live-edge furniture to full-room renovations. An accomplished athlete, Dany approaches every challenge with energy and focus, both in his work and in life. Outside the studio, he enjoys sports and spending time with his dog, Lula.
Juan José “Juanjo” Álvarez
Juanjo, a woodworking entrepreneur from Monterrey, Mexico, discovered his love for design and construction through his father, who built furniture and worked on homes in their hometown. With years of hands-on experience in construction and numerous creative workshops under his belt, Juanjo brings both skill and care to every project. Deeply connected to his family and culture, his warmth, attentiveness, and collaborative spirit make clients feel valued at every step, and his craftsmanship reflects the pride and dedication he carries from home to studio.
