Built From Faith. Rooted in Love. Dedicated to the Next Generation.
Our Story
Good Shepherd Creations began in a hospital room. Founder Tasheena Williams spent over three months by her husband Howard's side every day. Howard Williams was a proud U.S. Army veteran. Even from his hospital bed he encouraged Tasheena to continue her carpentry work, telling her “I want you to do that with excellence.” After Howard passed away, carpentry brought Tasheena peace. She shared the vision with her children and began reaching out to youth dealing with difficult things and it grew from there.
