 Branding

The Board of Directors of American Hiking Society revised the organization's mission, values, and vision during a strategic planning process in 2019. This core update provided a great opportunity to develop the first comprehensive brand guide in American Hiking’s 40+ year history. Building upon foundational elements developed by the board, I crafted and designed the brand guide (with input from Kelsey Scheffort, Digital Marketing Coordinator) to help unify the board and staff around a shared brand narrative.

My Story

Within Weakness

2020

Cerebral palsy hinders Wesley Trimble’s strength and coordination on the right side of his body, but it hasn’t thwarted his goal to climb all 54 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. Along the way, he discovered great strength within weakness, though tragedy taught him these adventures could cost him everything. Learn More.

CP and the PCT

2014

139 days saturated with moments of joy and sorrow solidify into one unforgettable experience. Cerebral palsy may have slowed me down, but I persevered. With the support of my friends, family, and fellow hikers I beat the odds and crushed the PCT. This 3-minute short film highlights my journey along this incredible trail.

An Adventure Together

The Videos that Started it All

I’m a little embarrassed when I watch these videos. I cringe at all the imperfections, but both of these videos remind me of the very beginning stages of storytelling and I love these adventures. Some people remove their early works, but I think it’s worth celebrating the process.

 
 

From the 16th to the 16th

2013

Get a glimpse of the 486-mile long Colorado Trail. During my 31-day solo journey from Denver to Durango I sought to capture the essence of the trail and the spirit of Colorado. I deliberately left behind all electronics (besides my GoPro) for an immersive experience, yet the song Lonesome Dream by Lord Huron looped through my mind throughout the hike.

2013 Year Edit

2014

At the start of 2013, I set out to document a year's worth of experiences using my GoPro Hero2. For the first time, I took my camera everywhere to capture not only the grand adventures in the mountains but also the natural rhythms of life. While editing my year down to less than two minutes, I realized the best adventures are the ones shared with friends and family.
