About Summit&Sketch

Welcome to Summit&Sketch! I'm Terri, the artist, hiker, and creative dreamer behind these guided journals. Like you, I love the outdoors. I discovered the outdoors, during my geology degree. Field school forced me out of my comfort zone—camping for 10 straight days while hiking the Rocky Mountains to map geologic features. That's where I fell in love with the wonder of nature - over 10 years ago! Ever since, I've been on as many outdoor adventures as I can fit in my weekends and holidays to experience more of this beautiful world.​

​

I love outdoor adventures—day hikes, backpacking, rock climbing, and camping. I was never good at documenting them—or, more importantly, documenting what I learned about myself during the experience. My attempts were either a quick, forgettable photo or a scribbled afterthought in a journal. More often than not, I wouldn't go back to reflect because my entries were lost or photos were trapped in the abyss of my digital storage.

 

Summit&Sketch was born from a simple idea: that life’s epic adventures—and the insightful lessons learned from them—should be easy to document and easy to reflect back on. So I created a hiking journal that I wish I had so many years ago! It’s the meeting point of my two greatest loves: whimsical, hand-drawn art, and the quiet introspection found on a mountain trail.​

 

My mission is simple: to help you slow down, notice the details, and turn passing moments into permanent, meaningful memories. Thank you for supporting this adventure. I can't wait to see what memories you log in your Summit&Sketch journal!
