Logan Ferris was raised along the Trinity River on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation in Northern California. The name Knu’u Customz was established to honor his middle name, Knu’u, which means Hawk in the Yurok language. The goal of Knu’u Customz is to create traditional and contemporary wood working items that incorporate traditional basket designs along with elements inspired by the river and his Hupa, Yurok and Karuk cultures. Logan grew up surrounded by talented artists and cultural practitioners, and his early exposure to traditional arts has shaped him and influenced every aspect of his own art. In addition to being an artist, Logan is a hunter, a fisherman, a gatherer, and an active participant in ceremonial dances.
