Topo Designs

Topo Designs just gets the camping experience. They understand the connection we have with nature, and make it a point to create products that are functional, but don’t distract from the beauty of nature surrounding us.

We got to check out the Klettersack 15L, a compact backpack that’s perfect for a hike on the trail or a day at the office. The interior is lined for extra protection, the leather tabs are perfect for attaching more gear, and the there’s a special spot for your water bottle or hydration of choice.

Topo Designs makes their quality gear in Colorado, and they aim to expand the “buy local” movement beyond food. For Topo, it’s about creating a community environment and enhancing our connection to the world around us.

Jessica

Call it passion, or maybe curiosity -- whatever it is Jessica is fueled by, it's not slowing down any time soon. From the get-go, she knew that her desire to represent brands with a purposeful story was a strong one, and after graduating with a degree in public relations from SDSU, followed by a solid stint at a lifestyle PR agency, she landed in a role with a company whose story outshines the rest (hint hint, that's here). She's openly obsessed with the outdoors, reveling in cycling races, hiking adventures and, most commonly, brunching on patios. She is known for always taking the "scenic route" -- especially for fish taco pit-stops along the way -- and makes a solid effort to keep her schedule jam-packed with activities and friends, which keeps her on her toes.
