We believe that our best ideas come from the trailside. By pursuing our outdoor passions, we keep authentic user experiences at the forefront of every design.

Kyle Ellison is the founder and lead designer at Trailside Creative. The roots of his passion for design trace back to his childhood when he fell in love with the natural world while hiking in California along the coastal mountains of Santa Cruz and high above the tree line in the Sierra Nevadas. 

In 2012, Kyle launched Trailside Creative with the explicit goal of sharing his love for the outdoors with others through sustainable product design. He and his team still find that the most inspiring, innovative, and compelling designs come from time spent outside, and the best way to make the world a better place is to make the outdoors experience more accessible to all.
