Cullen Robertson

Joining our team in 2019, Cullen brings with him a diverse and impressive resume of carpentry and trade experience spanning over nine years. Currently working as a journey-level carpenter, Cullen is quickly working his way towards being a lead carpenter. With an always sunny disposition, Cullen enjoys learning new skills and honing his craft; as well as passing on his knowledge to apprentices and others. Cullen has extensive experience in furniture building and finish carpentry, framing, stone masonry, metal fabrication and is an excellent problem solver on site. He excels in design/build applications and has worked on residential and commercial projects equally while with Metis. What gives Cullen the most satisfaction in his career is doing exceptional work, exceeding the customer’s and architect’s expectations and navigating the thousands of considerations at play on every project. Some of Cullen’s best work can be found at Tannor Restaurant, Sacred Heart School, Uplift Climbing Gym, Communion, Sip House, Bounty Kitchen and in numerous residential projects throughout Seattle.

               Originally moving here to attend school on an academic scholarship, Cullen graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a Bachelors of Arts in English Literature and Creative Writing. After graduating, Cullen worked seasonally for the National Park Service in Colorado and Washington; where he built log and stone structures, bridges, fell timber and worked on fire lines. In the off season, Cullen worked for two well respected, high end remodeling and landscaping companies in Seattle. This served as his introduction to carpentry and framing. After six years of seasonal work, Cullen began working at a design/build company in Ballard, where he crafted custom furniture and worked on high end residential and commercial projects.

               At home in the mountains, Cullen moved to Seattle from Grand Junction, Colorado fourteen years ago. In his free time, Cullen enjoys fishing, surfing, building furniture, volunteering with Sawhorse Revolution, playing music and spending time with his partner Sarah and his cat Zorro.
