Tanya is one of Jettywave’s co-founders, who brings a keen eye for design and a deep passion for agriculture to every corner of the distillery experience. Her home, a destination for hosting on the coast, was the part of the original inspiration for creating Jettywave itself. Our garden patio lounge closely mirrors her own home, a place known for generous hosting and effortless gathering. Tanya studied Small Business Development in Vancouver, Canada, and Organic Farming in Santa Cruz, a path that led her to the Northern California coast and shaped her botanical sensibility. Drawing directly from her background in gardens, she crafted the original recipe for our gin, thoughtfully balancing botanicals with the same care she brings to cultivating living spaces. Beyond the still, Tanya actively manages our online presence, shaping the visual voice of the brand, and is often out at store tastings proudly showing off the gin. She is married to her twenty-year love, Richard, who surfs with their two boys up and down the coast. You’ll often see the boys darting around Jettywave working during service. If you’re ever curious about a new plant in the garden, call on Tanya. She’s always ready to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for plants and Jettywave - and a great gin cocktail!
