About

Hi, I’m Mike, creator of Trailmade Goods here in Southern California.

Growing up, I wasn’t really introduced to outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or exploring local trails. But now that I have two little ones of my own, I want them to experience the outdoors, enjoy nature, and spend a little less time on their tablets.

With the San Bernardino Mountains in our backyard, my wife and I decided it was time for our family to get outside more, become more active, and start making memories together. We are definitely not outdoor experts — we are learning as we go, laughing along the way, and enjoying the family time that comes with exploring new places.

As a graphic designer, I started Trailmade Goods as a way to combine my love for design with our family’s growing appreciation for the outdoors. My hope is that these designs inspire you to get outside, stay curious, and enjoy the beauty of nature in your own way.

I also believe in giving back to the places and experiences that inspire us. That’s why $1 from every shirt sold helps support organizations that protect and care for parks, trails, and public lands, as well as programs that help kids connect with nature. This includes youth camp experiences like YMCA Camps, where children can explore the outdoors, learn about conservation, build confidence, and develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Thanks for being here and supporting our small family-run shop.
