Our Story

Wild Minder is a brand for nature lovers who want to celebrate and express their passion for the natural world through wearable art and home décor. Every product begins with a moment in nature—a photograph capturing its beauty, then brought to life through free-motion embroidery. The result is a unique collection that reflects the wonder of the wild.

Our mission is to foster a sense of belonging. When you purchase a product, you become a “Wild Minder.” With our slogan, “Be the Change, Inspired by Nature”  each piece serves as a call to action and a symbol of responsibility. Whether you’re wearing one of our denim jackets or displaying a textile print in your home or business, you’re not just adding art or fashion to your life, you’re making a statement and inspiring others to do the same.

Wild Minder is more than a brand. It’s a movement and a community. Together, we are united by a shared love for nature and a commitment to protecting it.

The Team

Owner

Wild Minder is my pride and joy, but it wouldn’t be what it is today without the amazing team below! For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamt of starting my own little venture. From selling painted stones outside my house at the age of eight to transforming my bedroom into a beauty salon and charging 50p for a manicure, I was always creating something. (Read more about these early adventures here.)

What Merrill lacks in work ethic (often found snoozing on the job!) she more than makes up for in morale. Always ready to lend a paw to her fellow team members. She’s the first to offer support—whether that’s a wag of encouragement or just her uplifting presence. A true lover of the outdoors. Merrill takes her breaks very seriously, often stopping to sniff the flowers and savour the moment.

Merrill has been crowned “Employee of the Week” every single week since Wild Minder began. A well deserved title for such a loyal and enthusiastic team member!

Wild Minder wouldn’t be what it is without Tom. For starters, it wouldn’t even be called Wild Minder—that was his idea! He’s my go-to soundboard for all my ideas and is always willing to help with anything, even if it means standing still holding a light above his head for as long as needed. He’s also the technical wizard behind photographing my embroidery, so I can turn them into prints. His level-headed problem-solving keeps everything on track, and Wild Minder truly wouldn’t be the same without him.
