Co-Founder & Owner
Our Founders
Meet Stevie Dennis and Jordan White. These two are the foundation of Naas Foods. They met at a lodge in Northern B.C. where they quickly became friends over their common interests and appreciation for a good laugh.
Although they are two people from very different walks of life, these two share one common passion: finding and sourcing novel ways of feeding the planet through regenerative, aquatic resources.
Starting out their journey together, they developed a kelp plant probiotic called Keltsmaht Kelp, which has since evolved into developing high-quality, delicious kelp products that are gentle on our coast.

A note from the artist.
"Akƛuusiš Qʷayacnit Ḥakuum. Istakšił Aḥuusaḥt, Hišquiaḥt aḥ Qʷayacnit. Ayakniš mułmumc. My name is Natalee Dennis, I come from Ahousaht, Hesquiaht and hippy point. I have many roots. I am a proud Nuuchahnulth mother, woman, and artist. My journey has been a unique one. From business logo design, painting, to tattooing. T'ašiisiš ʔaani qʷaasasa. My path is extraordinary.
I designed Stevie and Jordan's business logo with the connection to the hiłcaatu (ocean). The kelp symbolizes the freedom of working with their own company, yet still connected to the earth by roots. Giving them the ability to withhold through wiaksii (stormy seas). The movement of the kelp symbolizes the path they are on. Although, there will be ups and downs, they continue to grow towards the surface.
I gifted the designs to my brother and Jordan. I am proud to see my brother and his friend accomplish their dreams of working for themselves. One of their many goals has come to fruition, I am even more proud to have my artwork as their face logo. "
