Who Am I?

I’m Shanna—writer, wanderer, relentless questioner, and noticer of the wild and wonderful.

I find meaning in the little things, follow curiosity wherever it leads, and believe every life is a story best written off the well trodden path.

I’m the voice behind Finding Wilder, and I’m here to help you notice more, create more, and choose your own (gravel) road.

More About Me

What is Finding Wilder?

Finding Wilder is my creative home—an ecosystem of journals, letters, and invitations for seekers, writers, and independent spirits.

It’s a project (and a movement) rooted in paying attention, creating meaning, and living with curiosity—on your own terms.

Born from my own messy road between city and sea, grief and joy, hermitage and adventure, it now exists to invite you home to yourself.
