crafting Brands
With care

HEWN originated from a sort of kinship—two fellows whose mutual admiration deepened into a friendship and a partnership.

Boswell turned a twenty-year barbering career into Best Barber, a thriving NYC brand, and, along the way, found that his real gift was business and relationship-building; when he moved to Maine in 2022, putting that gift to work for fellow entrepreneurs became a clear calling.

Michael, an award-winning artist and Art Director, had been his client and friend for years. So when Boswell needed a hand-drawn wordmark for a branding project, Michael was the natural call—and in typical fashion, he delivered more than was asked: not just the wordmark, but a logo that was a revelation. 

Different trades, same instinct—making people look good through care and craft. Raising a glass one night at the pub, Michael said, “We should do this. Together.” 

In that moment, two dreams aligned, and HEWN was born.
