I'm Brian Gundersdorf, a creative director on a solo cross-country journey documenting America's landscapes, trails, and coastlines by car, foot, camera, and keyboard. One month per town: explore, hike, research, write, photograph, video.

Narrative, Dramatic, Practical Outdoor Content

At each stop on my adventure, I tell stories that have practical value for hikers. I found the most stunning hike in Big Sur—but the best part has been closed for over a decade. What gives? When my hiking shoes fell apart at White Sands National Park, I found a new favorite brand that traversed a huge range of surfaces with me. And after an AFib episode on a remote hike (with a bear), I created a best practice list to keep my heart in rhythm for hiking.

Full-Stack Creative

Twenty-five years of brand identity, graphic design, photography, editorial writing, and digital product work. I provide one point of view across the full process, start to finish.
