Welcome to the Chasing Stone blog! We’re so glad you’re here. Our story began in 2018 with a simple need for a portable, textured, stone-like styling surface. This idea quickly grew into the vibrant and diverse collection of backdrops and styling surfaces you see today. Each piece is inspired by my deep love and fascination for the natural world.

This blog is a place where we hope to answer your frequently asked questions, share tips and tricks, and connect with our amazing community. Whether you're a photographer, florist, or creative enthusiast, we’re here to support you and inspire your artistic journey. Alongside my passion for travel and design, I am excited to share insights and stories that can spark your creativity. Thank you for joining us and being a part of the Chasing Stone family!
