Hi, I’m Adriana, the founder of Play Outside! Growing up in Venezuela, my parents nurtured my love for adventure with frequent trips to the Amazon, remote beaches, and other breathtaking natural places. These experiences shaped my deep connection to the outdoors. I spent over 10 years as a camp counselor teaching horseback riding, mountaineering, and rock climbing—fostering not only outdoor safety skills but also a deep respect for nature. Now, as a mom of two, I’m passionate about helping families enjoy nature without being weighed down by unnecessary “stuff.” At Muddy + Mind, we believe in creating versatile, minimalist products that simplify family adventures while promoting sustainability. By partnering with eco-conscious organizations, we aim to ensure every product benefits families without harming the planet—maybe even helping it thrive.
