★★★★★We absolutely love the glasses that Emily has made. They are not only beautiful, but fit well in my small hands. After a recent accident with our very excited poodle, Emily was quick to respond in helping us replace one of the glasses to keep our set full. I cannot name a kinder, more responsive business owner than Emily. Thank you for sharing your work with the world!

★★★★★This is a great momento, and a great little mug. It's a smaller size and very light, which works great for camping or if you make a carafe of coffee. The artwork is lovely as well. A great gift for anyone who collects momentos of the Parks they've been to.

Emily personally ideates and designs all the products and illustrations herself. From her basement workshop in Denver, CO, she sublimation prints drinkware and handles the packaging and shipping of all inventory. Our stickers, pins, patches, and hats are sourced from USA-based manufacturers, while t-shirts and sweatshirts are produced through a trusted, high-quality print-on-demand partner with locations worldwide.

We are constantly working to make our processes more sustainable. If you have ideas of how we could be better, please reach out via the Get in Touch tab or at emily@humanaturedesigns.com.
Here’s how we are currently reducing our environmental footprint:
- Sublimation Printing: Sublimation uses water-based inks free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), reducing waste and emissions. Additionally, since the process doesn’t require water for rinsing, it conserves water and avoids contamination from dye runoff. Sublimation printing is energy-efficient, creates durable designs that don't fade, and is ideal for creating our national parks mugs and mountain-inspired pint glasses that will last you a lifetime.
- Drinkware: By choosing reusable drinkware, we're helping reduce the 50+ billion single-use cups that end up in landfills yearly. Our stainless steel camping mugs and colorful glass pints are recyclable and sustainable options that allow nature lovers like you to sleep at night, knowing you're doing good for Mother Earth.
- Sustainable Shipping & Packaging: We use eco-friendly and recyclable materials like kraft paper, compostable mailers, and cardboard to ship your nature-inspired goods and gifts. When possible, we steer clear of packing materials that are harmful to the environment due to their non-biodegradable nature, energy-intensive production, or toxic chemical components (bubble wrap, Styrofoam peanuts, shrink wrap, and plastic mailers).
- Made to Order Model: Our made-to-order and small batch model reduces overproduction and excess inventory, preventing items from ending up in landfills. Any products that are damaged, misprinted, or not sold to loving homes are used for samples, test prints, giveaways, or donations.
- DTG Printing for Apparel: All outdoor apparel is printed using Direct to Garment (DTG) printing. DTG printing is a more sustainable option because it minimizes waste by using only the necessary amount of ink, conserves water by eliminating the need for screen washing, and uses eco-friendly, water-based inks. Additionally, DTG is energy-efficient, lowering its overall environmental impact,
making it an eco-conscious choice for creating products like our adventure t-shirts and sweatshirts. Our apparel ships regionally, cutting down CO₂ emissions and ensuring faster delivery.- Local Vendors: When possible, we work with local retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers to reduce transportation emissions and support local economies.
- Non-Profit Donations: We dedicate a percentage of sales to conservation efforts and eco-friendly non-profit partners as a 1% for the Planet brand. Check out our Philanthropy + Giving page for more information!

Yes, most of our products are designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind! Our insulated and enamel mugs, for example, are durable and can withstand various outdoor conditions, making them a great companion for your adventures. Our stickers are made of adventure-proof vinyl that resists scratching, rain, and sunlight.
Both types of camping mugs are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing will keep the designs more vibrant over time. We suggest hand washing all beer can pint glasses with cool water as the designs can fade in high temperature washing.
If your product breaks during shipping, send us your order number and a photo of the broken item. We will make it right! We also offer free lid replacements for insulated camping mugs, you just have to pay for shipping. Click here to order a new one.
