“TO LOVE A PLACE IS NOT ENOUGH. WE MUST FIND A WAY TO HEAL IT”

SUSTAINABILITY & GIVING BACK
Every hand knit beanie is crafted with 100% ethically and sustainably sourced wool—because the planet matters. And with every purchase—whether it’s a cozy beanie, a small business resource, or creative retreat—you’re helping give back.
Smeeny Made Wild donates 1% of all revenue to Protect Our Winters, and additionally donates to organizations fighting for LGBTQIA+ rights, women’s rights, and racial justice—because climate justice is social justice.
This isn’t just business. It’s impact, intention, and doing things differently.
CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE
Together, we can create a better world.
Do you care deeply about our planet and feel most alive when you're outside?
You're in the right place. I’m here to inspire you to reconnect with nature, embrace everyday adventures, and help make the outdoors feel safe and welcoming for everyone. When we spend time outside, whether it’s deep in the backcountry or on your favorite neighborhood trail, we remember just how important it is to protect these wild places and care for the world around us.
Born from a love of outdoor adventures and life in my little mountain town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Smeeny Made Wild is more than a brand. It’s a community of creatives and adventurers who believe that businesses can be do so much more than sell products, they can be advocates for change. Whether you’re shopping handmade goods, joining me on a group adventure, or working with me to grow your business, everything I create is rooted in adventure, intention, and making a positive impact—for the planet and its people.

Hey hi!
I’m CHEREEN
Founder, Maker, & Rewilding Guide
Some days I just pause, take a deep breath, and soak it all in…
Because somehow, I get to combine my love for the outdoors, creating with my hands, travel, adventure, and building an intentional life and business into something that’s helping others do the same.
What started as a hobby turned handmade knitwear brand has bloomed into a vibrant community for adventurous creatives and small business owners who want more purpose, freedom, and joy on the journey.
Whether through group adventures, coaching, or cozy handmade goods, I’m here to help you rewild life and business, alongside a community who gets it.
