Hey! I’m Drey.
Welcome to my website. I built this as a home for my creative works and a way to connect with like-minded people.
About Me
My full name is Dreyden Wilde. Most people ask how I got it, and I've heard it's either an endearing combination of my mother and father's nicknames—or the name of my aunt's childhood pet rock. You are welcome to choose.
I grew up in Utah, where I developed a close relationship with the outdoors, but iconic stories like Spirit and Balto single-handedly started my creative journey (who else remembers 'Learn to Draw Spirit' with James Baxter?).
I've found my place in the marketing world (no surprise there), and my daily life consists of art, nature, family, and food.
What I Love
I love stories in all forms—written, spoken, or acted—and I'm fascinated by how distant worlds can romanticize the things we take for granted.
My joy for food started with artisanal backyard dishes (mud and grass), that grew to full-time baking and cooking for my friends and family. I think nourishing the minds and bodies of those you love is a primal form of appreciation, and the smell of breakfast on a weekend morning just feels special.
My outdoor hobbies include photography, foraging, rock hounding, fly fishing, camping, and slacklining.
