Subpar Parks' Amber Share


Listen Later

Amber Share had always been passionate about design, but never pursued it as a career, instead opting for a life in marketing. That wasn't enough - she never felt completely fulfilled and still had the urge to create.

Then Amber began the venture that would change her life - Subpar Parks. Simply put, she takes a 1-star online review of a national park or monument, draws an image from it and then slaps on a ridiculous comment. A perfect example is the one she did for Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming - "just a big rock".

What started as a pet project has grown exponentially - with her Instagram amassing more than 400-thousand followers and she's now working on it full-time, shipping out calendars, puzzles, prints and more.

Learn why Amber decided to start Subpar Parks, how she turns a negative review into an illustration and she reveals her short list of favorites in this illuminating conversation.
