Our Story

Before founding Picardie Timber Frame + Millwork, Christina Worms completed her M. Arch degree at the University of Florida, after which she worked for several architectural firms as a designer and project manager. A bulk of her work was spent at the State of Mississippi’s Department of Archives and History as a preservation specialist, managing projects and completing Section 106 reviews.

During this time her partner/husband, Julien Worms, was working for an international company based out of Indonesia where he traveled to exotic locations managing the installation of timber frame structures. Prior to this work, Julien completed 10 years with the Compagnons du devoirs which is an elite training “guild” in France that dates to the middle ages and the construction of cathedrals.

During her work, Christina noticed a need for millwork manufacturing using traditional joinery methods. With Julien’s advanced knowledge of wood, woodwork, and joinery, along with Christina’s knowledge of architecture and historical preservation, they started Picardie Timber Frame + Millwork in 2009 in New Orleans.

Since that time, Picardie has grown to more than 25 full time employees and is housed on a 67,000+ square foot property in the Bywater
