Our Story
Prior to starting Creations 4 Wildlife our young co-founder Dylan, then age 12, raised more than $3,000 for conservation. As Dylan continues to grow, so do his dreams of saving endangered species and changing the world. One project at a time just won't do anymore, there are too many endangered species out there Dylan wants to help. While on vacation in 2015, Dylan and Michelle sat in their hotel room brainstorming of ways they could continue to raise money for their conservation efforts without asking friends and family for more donations. When creativity and conservation came together. Creations 4 Wildlife was born.
Inspired by endangered species and their habitats, this mother and son team handcraft bracelets to help support causes they are passionate about. Every purchase supports conservation where wildlife needs it most!
Working together on this new conservation project with Dylan has reminded Michelle how important it is to never lose faith in your beliefs. "No matter what the obstacles may be, another poaching story in the news or hearing that there are now only 3 northern white rhinos left, you just keep going. Conservation is a way of life for us and I am confident that we can raise the funds to meet our goals." - Dylan, 2015
Fast forward to 2026 - Dylan has graduated from college with a BS in Zoology, Minor in Education and is currently working towards his Masters. Dylan has worked with giraffes, rhinos, cheetahs, red pandas, parrots and much more at 3 different California zoos. He is currently a Wildlife Care Specialists working with a variety of hoofstock including Masai giraffe.
Dylan may be grown and living his dream to care for these animals and educate the public about wildlife conservation, but that doesn't mean their story is over. Michelle has decided to continue running Creations 4 Wildlife - designing bracelets, working with the conservation organizations, and doing her best to make a difference where wildlife needs it most.
