Building a lasting financial foundation.
While life will change in ways we can't predict, a well-crafted plan can provide shelter.
Our guiding principles:
Simplify (where possible)
For most people, there are a lot of accounts in a lot of places.
We work to bring things together and craft a beautiful simplicity in your financial life.
A Long-term Resource
Financial situations arise, change, and shift many times over in a lifetime.
An advisory relationship at Crafted is founded on dependability that supports your family through different eras.
Quality and Care
There is a craft and art to financial planning. While it may seem like just numbers, for us it is as much about using creative thinking and building strong foundations that withstand detours and sharp turns ahead.
Quality is paramount to a lasting financial plan.

Gabe
the founder
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER
There aren’t many financial planners who would use the words “beautiful” and “financial plan” in the same sentence.
Talk to Gabe about it, though, and you might start to think that way too.
FROM A YOUNG AGE, money conversations were a part of Gabe's world. Before he could drive a car, he opened his first brokerage account – the only kid he knew who was learning about risk while assembling legos. He came to understand budgeting and the power of financial literacy, and moved himself to Los Angeles to start his adult life.
Gabe paid his dues at a major financial firm, discovering first-hand what transactional, impersonal financial planning was like (and knowing that was not for him). The idea for Crafted Wealth was thus born in a humble home in Venice, California – bringing care, quality, and yes, beauty, to financial planning to make a real and lasting impact on clients’ lives.
The only other thing that captivates Gabe as much as finance (and his family), is cars. A poster of a 1990s Porsche 911 GT2 inspired him growing up, and he’s since built, rebuilt, and repaired a number of cars (ask him about it!). Gabe has found real community in the automotive space, and is always seeking the next great rally, and the next special project.
The real reason he likes cars, though?
You’re never done. You can make it with your own hands, and then go test it.
There’s a beauty to this idea, and if you become a Crafted client, you’ll start to understand exactly what that means.
Tatiana
the resident
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER
No one knows what being a Crafted client is like more than Tatiana – because she was one before she joined the team, and her experience with planning moved her to make a big change.
ORIGINALLY FROM BUENOS AIRES, Tatiana grew up during a devastating Argentinian economic crisis that saw her family immigrate to the US, seeking stability and a better life. This experience left an imprint, one that taught her about the ever-present possibility of economic upheaval, and conversely the supreme power of financial security.
She made a career in television, working first as a producer and then reaching executive positions at Hulu, Discovery, and Warner Bros. She soon was managing teams across the globe and sourcing international programming for mainstream TV (ask her about it!). As she kept climbing the corporate ladder, the work pulled her away from the lifestyle and impact she wanted to have, and financial questions started to mount as she pondered a transition.
An experience working with Gabe as a client helped her and her husband to have more healthy conversations around money, and to become a team instead of individuals. They started to reach financial goals faster, spend smarter, and developed a feeling of security that serves as a foundation for their family today.
Witnessing this impact was the signal she needed – she got her CFP and has joined CRAFTED to further the mission and help other couples and families to achieve similar outcomes.
