Founder Interview - Katie May
Today, we're thrilled to have with us co-founder, Katie May, sharing with us her journey. Let's dive in!
Q: Can you share with us your journey into starting a craft supply company? What inspired you to enter this industry?
A: Absolutely! My time at University of Mount Union, playing college volleyball, was fantastic. I pursued a degree in early childhood education and reading intervention, which I adored, but I soon realized my heart was truly in being creative and adult learning. Crafting during college wasn't just a hobby; it helped pay for books. And with my mom's success at Wholesale Supplies Plus (a soap and candle supply company), stepping into the craft supply realm felt like a natural transition. We decided to focus on materials for sublimation, heat transfer vinyl, beads, and other trendy products. The best part of my job? It's definitely interacting with our customers, knowing that we're helping them make a profit or save money, especially during tough economic times.
