Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I craved clean, convenient, plastic-free skincare for my outdoor adventures—but nothing fit my lifestyle. Traditional products were bulky, heavy, exploding in my bag, and full of plastic or glass. I knew other women felt the same and spoke to several who expressed a similar craving for something new. We wanted skincare without wasteful packaging, toxic runoff, or harmful chemicals. So, I created Wild Thing Skincare—built for adventure, kind to nature, and non-toxic.

How do you stay motivated?

I'm driven by our customers and the planet—because without nature, we have nothing. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to create, ship, and consume more sustainably. At Wild Thing, every choice we make puts people and the planet first. I won’t stop until real change happens and we’re leading the way in healthy, sustainable personal care!

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’ll scale Wild Thing sustainably by building an eco-conscious supply chain. This means partnering with a contract manufacturer, streamlining ingredient sourcing, and working with fulfillment vendors to cut packaging waste. Every step will help us grow without compromising our mission—creating plant-based skincare that protects both people and the planet. This funding will drive real impact, proving that sustainability and business success go hand in hand!
