Hello there!

Nice to meet you! My name is Jennifer. I am really excited to be working hard to help you know more about the brands that you buy from every day. Trestle started because I was frustrated at how hard it is to actually know the truth behind what brands actually do and was surprised that how little we actually know when we start digging. And you – you’re probably like me. Someone who wishes it were easier to spend dollars that align with our values. Why? Because we get angry when we learn LATER that a brand I’ve been supporting is exploiting the Earth, humans, or animals. We want to be proactive. Intentional. We want to be informed. And we should be. 

A Trestle is a type of bridge or platform – this is what we are building. The system and platform where transparency changes how we interact with brands every day.  

We are constantly challenging ourselves to improve our process and give you better information on brands more effectively and faster and won’t stop until we know the transparent operations and the truthful impact of ALL of the brands that we buy from. A future where the the most successful brands are also the most transparent.

Our team is made up of dedicated and visionary dreamers who, like many, would rather support companies who operate by the values we believe in, but often find our dollars going to convenience and competitive prices. We think it’s too hard and time consuming to discover companies who do more than simply earn a profit. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Raise your hand if you agree (well… adding the myTrestle Button works too)!

– Jennifer Johnson
