Our Story
The inspiration behind our name
During a backpacking trip to South America, Michael was fascinated by the ancient structures of Peru. Ashlar Creative draws inspiration from the Incan ashlar masonry technique, where precisely cut stones are fitted together. This technique can be seen at sites like Sacsayhuamán and Machu Picchu, which have stood the test of time. Inspired by this, we create, fix and update websites for businesses that are built to last.
