Hi, I’m Chelle
Chelle Norris - CEO & Owner
In 2019, I dipped a toe in the sustainable start-up world at a pitch weekend, when working in a senior marketing role at Adobe. Not long after, I started having seizures, which forced me to pause and rethink everything.
Years later, standing in my 80-year-old father’s shed beside the Toyota Coaster I’d just bought, I asked the question: How do we make road trips more sustainable?
Travel had always been my healing space; the bus became a bed on wheels, a safe way to keep going when life was heavy.
And so, Found Power was born.
