Hey gypsea!

I'm Michelle, the founder of Gypsea Mafia.

As an Active Duty US Army Captain, PhD, and passionate adventurer, I created Gypsea Mafia for women like us who aren't afraid to carve our own paths.

Inspired by my incredible circle of friends

and a shared love for the outdoors, Gypsea Mafia is more than just clothes – it's a community that celebrates individuality, fosters connections, and champions the power of female friendship.
