Before Smeeny Made Wild became this creative community, I was a kid growing up along the Pacific coastline and redwoods of Northern California who loved playing in the dirt, hiking, and camping. My connection to nature only deepened when I spent two seasons living and working in Yellowstone National Park. That experience changed everything.

After those seasons in park, my (now) husband and I thought we’d be ski bums for a winter and moved to the small ski town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. What we thought would be one winter has become over 12 years of skiing, hiking, biking, rafting, and spending as much time as possible outside with our dog, Arya!

I taught myself to knit with a pair of thrift store needles and a couple YouTube videos. That simple hobby lit a spark. What started as a “little side hustle” became the beginning of a life I never could have predicted. I left my career as a restaurant chef, took a job on a local farm, and traded burnout for building something rooted in freedom, creativity, and the outdoors.

Now I help other creatives do the same.

Today, Smeeny Made Wild is more than a brand—it’s a thriving community of adventurous creatives, makers, and small business owners who care about the planet and want to do things differently. We’re rewilding life and business by slowing down, reconnecting with ourselves, nature, creativity, and the things that truly matter.

Through immersive group experiences, mentorship, and online resources, I help you rewild your business so you can grow something sustainable and wildly true to who you are.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you’re in the dreaming phase or knee-deep in the messy middle, I’m here to journey alongside you with strategy, intentional guidance, and space to breathe.

Let’s trade burnout for something better—something impactful, creative, and wildly you.

Thank you for being a part of my story.
