My Wander Gene Journey – From Kitchen Table to Community

I've always needed to go. Discovered the real DRD4-7R wander gene years ago, claimed @thewandergene, and kept exploring. I started with my Cricut + AI logo, made one shirt for myself... and wondered if others felt it too.

I didn't wait for perfect. I started, adjusted, kept going. In less than 90 days: first-edition merch born, live site, Shopify, trademarks in motion, referral sales beyond my circle, and a celebrity repost wearing it, saying she loves it. No fanfare, just forward motion.

To all of us wired to wander: wear it, live it, grow with it. Grateful for every step and every one along the way.

Wander On! ❤️
