What brought you to the Kootenays and how long have you been here?

Tell us about the history and relative work experience of your founder(s).
I was an R.N. For 10 years before doing product design. Design has been an abiding interest throughout my life, but I only started taking it seriously in my thirties. Marketing, on the other hand, has taken more effort, as I don’t have the same enthusiasm for it.
Describe the mission, vision, goals, and aspirations of your company.
To design and manufacture game-changing products with a soul, right here in BC. Also, to promote outdoor experiences for all age groups and abilities.
