In 2014, we launched Nowhere Native as a travel blog to capture what felt like the greatest pivot of our lives. We left our careers, our downtown Chicago high-rise, and the comfort of routine, setting out in search of something more meaningful. That year we explored 15 countries, living alongside locals working on their own passion projects. We farmed, built, laughed, ate, drank — and regularly got very, very lost.

The adventure didn’t end on our return. Soon after, we moved south to put down roots in the bayou, became parents, and discovered a new kind of unknown: raising a child and craving inclusive engagement that spoke to us all.

While we haven’t changed, we’re absolutely not the same. What started with two is now three. Together we’re on the ride of a lifetime, working, traveling, and learning side by side, creating the life we want to live. Nowhere Native has grown with us, too, evolving into a home for our shared passion: designing and guiding transformative experiences for organizations, brands, and (in special cases) for individuals.

Today, we continue navigating life’s shifting landscape, always seeking to live at our fullest capacity, connect deeply, and embrace the richness and vulnerability of each day. Our work now spans corporate consulting and immersive experiences, but at its core it’s still about the same thing: bringing fresh perspective to challenges not yet solved.

We still love to learn, eat, experiment, and explore. And while we don’t know exactly where the road will lead, we’re certain we’re writing one incredible story.
