Plaid Friday is the 'shop small and local' alternative to Black Friday. At CMD, every piece is made by hand with intention, care, and a whole lot of heart. Choosing craftsmanship over convenience isn’t always the cheapest path, but it’s one we deeply believe in. Supporting small businesses and the makers within your community creates a ripple far more meaningful than any big-box purchase. Thank you for choosing to show up for us — we’re truly grateful.

CMD stands very proud as a woman-owned and operated small business. We’re a team of four creative, kind, curious, hard-working women with our The CMD Shop & Design Studio based in Asbury Park, NJ. Our production studio is just 4.5 hours from Asbury, right outside of Ithaca in western NY. From design to delivery, we do it all! Each piece is thoughtfully designed and then cut, soldered, and shaped by hand and handmade to order. This process takes more time, but we revel in the details and we promise it's worth the wait. We only source the best materials from highly reputable suppliers, so you know you’re getting the good stuff. We support small and local whenever we possibly can, and we try to put our money where our heart is. After all, that’s what CMD is all about!
We’re so grateful for all the support we receive on a regular basis. Every time you pass along our website or share an Instagram post, we feel the love! All of us here at CMD have been working extra hard to keep this woman-owned and operated small business going year after year. We truly couldn’t do it without you!
xo,
Colleen + The CMD Team

The studio lights are back on, the torches are warm, and there’s that familiar hum in the air again. After a much-needed winter break, The CMD Team is officially back in the studio — rested, recharged, and ready to dive into a brand new year. If you’ve been waiting on a made-to-order piece, I’m happy to report that production officially resumed this week. Orders are flowing, benches are [...]
As the year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of gratitude and reflection. 2025 was a full year — creatively, emotionally, and energetically. It stretched me, grounded me, challenged me, and ultimately reminded me why I chose this path all those years ago. Here’s a look back at the year [...]
As we wrap up another busy, beautiful holiday season, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve shopped with us this year, shared our work with a friend, or simply followed along, your support means more than you know. Starting today, most of The CMD Team will be stepping away for a much needed break [...]
