About Oceanseen

Hello, I'm Ally. I have many roles, but some of my favorites include being a mom, gardener, wife, friend, and a true thalassophile—a lover of the sea. My mind keeps me motivated, creative, and always juggling multiple tasks at once—if you know, you know!

I grew up in White Rock, BC and have been drawn to the ocean my whole life. I am passionate about surfing and still remember catching my first wave and feeling connected to the water; this marked the beginning of a lifelong passion that led me to create Oceanseen. The ocean is a place of healing for me. It's a space where I can re-center and align with what is important to me. It gives me a great sense of peace and is what I truly believe connects us all.

When I'm not running Oceanseen, you can find me enjoying time by the water, spending time with loved ones, or exploring the great outdoors. In my quieter moments, I'm an avid reader, always seeking new knowledge. I'm passionate about sustainability in every aspect of life, from gardening to diet. I've always wanted to give back and be a part of a movement helping to sustain the ocean and its wildlife. That is why I am committed to creating and sharing products that help others make more eco-conscious choices.

We often forget, in our fast-paced lives, how crucial the ocean is—it was here before us, it's bigger than us, and it teaches us respect, patience, and how to live in harmony. These are values I teach my kids, so they have the privilege and duty to pass them down to the next generation. Watching them discover the ocean for the first time and sharing that love with them has been one of my greatest joys as a mother. Sharing the ocean with loved ones and hearing people's stories is all part of Oceanseen, a chance to connect and create a community of like-minded ocean lovers.
