framer

Picture border maker

A framer is someone who constructs frames, whether for houses, pictures, or ideas.

In construction, framers build the wooden skeleton of a building before walls and finishing go up.

In art and photography, a framer mounts and encloses work in decorative frames.

The term also applies to those who shape or formulate something abstract: the framers of the Constitution drafted its foundational language.

The framers intended Congress to have broad powers.
