One Fonda Framing is more than just a framing shop — it's the story of my journey, and a tribute to the place where I’ve re-found my roots.

I was born in Troy, NY, and spent my entire childhood just a mile from where I live today. After more than a few detours, bouncing around different parts of the area over the years, I returned to Troy settling at 1 Fonda Avenue — making this my home for the past 11 years.

When I first moved to this small Eastside neighborhood, I had no idea how much I would come to love this place, and this street in particular. But slowly, over time, as I poured myself into making this place own with a new roof, basement fixes, a total porch rehaul — each project made this house feel more like home. As a result, I found a deeper connection to this part of town and to Troy in general - its people, new neighbors, old classmates, and friends.

The name One Fonda Framing reflects that journey — it’s a nod to the one place that has become my home, the place where I have finally re-planted my roots. It’s a place where sustainability and creativity intersect, and where I’m proud to offer custom framing services and repurpose materials to give new life to pre-loved frames and artwork.

At One Fonda Framing, I’m not just crafting frames — I’m honoring the journey I’ve taken and the community that has shaped me. Whether it’s a custom frame for your artwork or a vintage frame that's been rehomed and brought back to life, you’re always welcome at One Fonda — a space where memories and stories are preserved with care.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
