I'm the founder of Adventure Threads Company, a mom of three, gigi of four, working professional, and a lifelong explore who believes in saying YES to new adventures. When I'm not designing new gear or writing about National Parks, I'm hiking Wisconsin’s trails, road-tripping to new destinations, or soaking in the quiet beauty of nature. Adventure Threads isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of my passion for exploration, creativity, and storytelling.
