Darri, owner of Hipster Helper
— The guy showing up at your door
Origin story

Built by hand,
out of necessity.

Being the son and brother of trained carpenters in Iceland, I've always been around a "you do it yourself" mentality. I had some jobs in the construction industry as a youngin.

A few years ago, me and the missus bought a house in the woods that had great bones — but was stuck in a 70's/80's linoleum, shoddy-workmanship hellscape. Years of demolishing, building, designing, and finding solutions later, I now find myself with —

A particular set of skills.

I've used them for myself, family, friends, and neighbors. Now I want to bring them to the greater community. For a fee, obviously — I've got mouths to feed.

If you've got something that needs that special Hipster lovin', hit me up and let's see if I can help you out.
