Sierra Sown Values
Outside-Centered Creativity
Sierra Sown is rooted in the belief that nature is the ultimate source of inspiration. By creating art using elements from the Sierra Nevada, Kali attempts to channel the beauty and feelings of being outside in the places we love, encouraging a deeper connection with the natural world.
Handmade from the Heart
Everything starts handmade. To create the goods of Sierra Sown, Kali forages and preserves elements of the natural world and then uses these to create her original pieces. Every item is imbued with love–for the creative process, for the natural objects that contribute to each piece, for spending time in the great outdoors, and for attention to detail that yields magical craftswomanship.
Remember the Memories
Kali believes that every outdoor adventure has the ability to hold precious memories and each handcrafted item is created with the goal to remind you of your time spent rambling wild in the places that you love.
It is the People
Through Sierra Sown, Kali aims to celebrate those who have chosen to live, play and adventure in these places and those who represent the landscapes they love. If we can foster connections and bring together those who value the beauty and literal magic of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, we will have made the world just a little bit better.
Protect the Places Where We Play
Sustainability and conservation are at the heart of Sierra Sown. We prioritize eco- and world-friendly practices by repurposing clothing, responsibly foraging for natural elements, and donating to causes we care about. My goal is that through this small business, I can contribute to making sure future generations can enjoy the same natural beauty and outdoor adventures that bring us joy today.
Giving Back
At Sierra Sown, my work is deeply rooted in a love for the wild landscapes of the Sierra Nevada and the communities that call these places home. I believe in not only drawing inspiration from nature but also giving back to protect and uplift both the land and its people. That’s why a portion of every purchase supports organizations that I've discovered that are dedicated to conservation, environmental stewardship, and human rights.
I'd like to make a meaningful impact with this small business and by choosing Sierra Sown, you’re not just investing in handcrafted, nature-inspired goods, you’re also supporting a vision that many of us share where both the planet and its people can thrive.
