Why I’m building it

I’m Meaghan Ralston, founder of Maggie Jane and editor of Weed in the Wild West. Through Maggie Jane, my work brings together brand strategy, marketing, sales and creative production. I’m interested in how the pieces connect: the product, the story, the retailer, the customer and the people making it all happen. That’s the perspective I’m bringing to this publication.

I want to help people understand what’s happening across the West, learn from one another and find the connections that move their work forward.
