Hi! Thanks for taking the time to explore my work. I grew up on the rural Olympic Peninsula, Washington lucky enough to have a hands - on Childhood: feeding horses, fixing fences, driving trucks and tractors and keeping my small hands away from spinning shafts.
Eventually, a curious rebellion took me far and wide. I Studied abroad in Nepal, mountain biked across Cuba, Tasmania, Oregon and 1,700 miles down the Baja Peninsula. I have a keen appreciation for big hills followed by ice cream 🙂
I jotted down ways to improve my bicycle & gear along the way. Covid happened. I stopped traveling, and started a company to bring my ideas to life called Forager Cycles (that’s me, I’m the raccoon)
The name has a double meaning. For one, I love bicycle-powered mushroom hunts (on the nose, sure). The broader meaning is about using the resources in ones immediate environment to solve problems and find answers. Simple tools are often the most powerful: Sticky notes, A3 paper, a pencil. When choosing tools and materials I choose carefully, and design for what is easily made and renewed. Taking advantage of the berries growing nearby, knowing they will return next year if we take good care.
