Micaela has an MBA in marketing and enjoys applying her knowledge and understanding of consumer behavior with her passion for safe and sustainable products. Her work as a brand manager in the food industry broadened her understanding of how food products get to our tables. She honed her passion for well-designed, high-quality products in the jewelry and home furnishings businesses and gained early insight into the importance of sustainable products as a buyer for a natural bath-and-body-care company.

Micaela lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her husband and two boys. When she is not writing, she is busy whipping up a healthy meal or the eco craft du jour.
