Jake Braid
Art installer and picture framer
Jake joined ARC in late 2019, initially as an assistant art installer, wherein he worked closely with Dan and Courtney to hone his craft in picture hanging and framing. He is now our main art installer and framer.
He brings to the job an excellent attention to detail, craftsmanship and a keen aesthetic eye. He possesses a good understanding of art care and best practices in the handling of fine art; and is well equipped to provide informed advice in the placement of artworks in homes.
Coming from a family of artists and artisans, Jake has a natural affinity with art and design. And his Japanese ancestry inspires his passion for all things Japan: specifically the language, cuisine, and most relevant to his work, its rich history of fine woodwork and craftmanship.
Jake is an industrious maker of things. As well as his passion for art, he loves geeking out about good food and wine, Japanese cars, DIY, and his miniature fox terrier, Yoshi.
