Rachel Beyer’s love of crafts was inspired by her mother and grandmother, who taught her to sew, crochet, and make jewelry at a very young age. She attended summer camp and joined Girl Scouts, where she refined her talent and learned other valuable skills like beading, tie-dye, and how to sell delicious cookies.

After graduating college in 2007 with a BFA in Graphic Design, Rachel started her career as a designer in Seattle, Washington. But after a year-and-a-half spending her evenings hosting Craft Clubs and working on her own handmade projects, she discovered her true calling: to start a company where she can sell her very own designs.

Now she creates and sews every piece for Camp Smartypants, and hopes that her one-of-a-kind products will re-kindle those same feelings of childhood adventure in others.
