Our story
Wayfinder was born from a love of finding beauty in the unexpected. What started as a passion for thrifting, collecting, and creating grew into something bigger: a space where creativity, thoughtful shopping, and community come together.
With a background in art education and graphic design, I've always been drawn to creativity in all its forms. I love the stories behind old things, the character of well-loved pieces, and the excitement of finding something you didn't know you were looking for.
Today, Wayfinder is a thoughtfully curated blend of vintage clothing, antiques, original artwork, handmade goods, and pieces from independent artists and makers. Each item is chosen with intention, celebrating individuality, creativity, and the beauty of giving things a second life.
More than a shop, Wayfinder is a place to slow down, get inspired, discover something new, and connect with our creative community. We're proud to call Chattanooga home and hope to be a little corner of the city where creativity feels at home.
By shopping at Wayfinder, you're supporting small businesses, independent artists, local makers, and a more thoughtful approach to shopping.
