Wayward isn't one person, it is a collection of creators, finders, dreamers and makers.
Meet Karyn, co-owner: Karyn is a long time Fort Collins resident, originally hailing from Florida. Karyn is a mom of two amazing kiddos and three mischievous kitties. She graduated in 2008 with a degree in metalsmithing but these days she uses all sorts of mediums to make all sorts of things. Karyn loves to refinish/refurbish furniture and make jewelry. When she's not with her family or at Wayward, she loves to play around in her garden, renovate her house, go thrifting, and do ANYTHING in the sun (you can take the girl out of Florida...). Karyn has been slinging vintage treasures and handmade goods since 2013.

Meet Sarah, vintage and clothing vendor: Sarah, a Wisconsinite at heart, moved to Colorado in the late 90s and has made Fort Collins her home. Spending the majority of her working life in social work, she delved into a small handmade business in 2017 - the rest as they say is history. When not searching the country for treasures with her husband daughter, she can be found spending time creating, spending time in nature, gardening, and general mischief. She can't help but pull over for a free sign on the side of the road or take a slight detour to hit an estate sale.
