The People of Wild Strides Paper Co.
FOUNDER/OWNER
Grayson Murphy
I initially began my Training Log + Planner journey by creating a single, hand drawn, bullet journal for myself in the fall of 2018. The idea has since blossomed into a budding business that I am immensely proud of and passionate about. After 6 years of creating a yearly TL+P we have decided to expand to include more stationery for athletes and thus, Wild Strides Paper Co. was born. Ever since I was little I have had a love for stationery (see photo to the left) and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Not only does Wild Strides give me a chance to be creative and learn entrepreneurial skills, but it also allows me to connect with and contribute to the endurance community outside of my own races which is the real cherry on top!
DIGITAL DESIGNER
Hannah Bickmore
Hannah has been the digital designer of our beloved TL+P since 2020. Hannah and Grayson were teammates in college, competing for the University of Utah Track and Cross Country teams. And now they are teammates in design!
Currently, Hannah is a freelance visual creative pursuing her career in digital and portrait photography. She currently calls the Wasatch Front her home base and on the off chance that she's not at her desk creating, you might find Hannah running through trails lined with pine trees, finding the next best anime to watch with her husband, or on her quest to break the world record for eating as much popcorn as humanly possible during a single movie at the theaters.

GREETING CARDS DESIGNER
Kristen Doornbos
I’m Kristen Doornbos — an adaptive runner, coach, sports massage therapist, and the creator of Paper Trails Greeting Co. I launched this line of runner-specific greeting cards as a passion project during the height of the covid pandemic to spread a little joy in the running community, having no idea just how wildly popular they would become. They had a great run! Ultimately a couple years later I chose to focus more on my career as a Licensed Massage Therapist, so Paper Trails Greeting Co. is no more. But I’m so thrilled that Wild Strides Paper Co. will carry these cards and continue their legacy of support, celebration, connection, and the power of the handwritten note. Though ownership of the designs now belongs to Wild Strides Paper Co., you’re still backing me and my work by purchasing them… not to mention, supporting your fellow athlete with a word of encouragement!
PRODUCTION MANAGER

I am excited to officially join the Wild Strides Paper Co. team this year as Grayson's life and business partner. With an attention to detail, I enjoy my role as production manager. I look forward to managing all of our current and future products!
I am an ex-professional nordic skier and I currently run a mobile bicycle repair shop in Heber City, Utah. My connections to the endurance sports community run deep I am enthusiastic to help grow Wild Strides Paper Co.
