about smeeny made wild

A trailhead for your next adventure

Smeeny Made Wild is a community of creatives, dreamers, and small business owners who want to live life on their own terms and create a better world.

A HOME FOR CREATIVES, DREAMERS, AND ADVENTURERS

Make things. Go places. Live wildly.

Getting outside and reconnecting with our wild reminds us that we’re part of nature, not above it. In a world that moves fast, creating space is so important and is what brings us back to who we are underneath the noise. Life is meant to be lived and we all have the agency to build a creative life that we love.

Success looks different for everyone, but it’s up to us to zoom out and uncover what that truly means for us. Maybe it’s having the freedom to travel to new places, spend more time offline and outside, have fulfilling work that also feels creative. Maybe it looks like Monday morning coffee walks with your bestie, lunch by the river, or a daily journaling practice and time with your knitting or sketchbook. To me, those are the moments that make life rich and I’m here to help you build something that creates whatever those moments are for you.

When I started selling my handmade knits in 2017, I never imagined this little side hustle would evolve into a full-blown creative community. But over the years, Smeeny Made Wild has grown into a community of creatives, artists, adventurers, and purpose-driven women who care about the planet and want to live more intentionally.

Here, we celebrate the slowness of handmade, the joy of everyday adventures, and the wild journey of building a life that feels like you.

MY MISSION

Connection and Community

Whether you’re wrapping yourself in one of my handmade knits or joining a retreat to rewild your life and business, everything I create is rooted in a deep love for nature, sustainability, and slow, intentional living.

I’m here to help you build a life and business that supports your wild, creative spirit and protects the places that inspire it. That means making conscious choices in the materials I use, the adventures I lead, and the causes I support like donating to Protect Our Winters and other organizations creating a more inclusive, equitable outdoors.

You don’t have to do it all perfectly. But together, we can choose a different path that supports both your dreams and the planet.

Let’s build a life you don’t need a break from and protect the wild places that help us come home to ourselves.

SUSTAINABILITY & GIVING BACK

Everything I create is made with the planet in mind. My hand crafted goods are made with ethically and sustainably sourced materials and with every purchase—whether it’s a cozy beanie, working together in my coaching program, 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 reproductive rights, and racial equity as it intersects with the outdoors.

I’m not just here to sell you a product. I’m here to build a community of adventurers, creatives, and change-makers who are making ripples for a better world.

founder, maker, and rewilding guide

Hey hi!

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
