A LETTER FROM THE OWNER

Welcome to my world of creativity and entrepreneurship!

Hello, I'm Jaymie, the founder of The Kumu Company. My career journey began in trade show sales when I was 20; I sold everything from bedding to hammocks. I traveled around the country for about five years, working on commission in a highly competitive market. It was rewarding but extremely exhausting, ultimately leading me to pursue my own business. I bought a sewing machine online and quickly became enchanted with fabric and the process of turning it into wearable pieces. I am fortunate because my mother instilled an entrepreneurial spirit in me. Watching her build her business from nothing allowed me the courage to launch my first apparel e-commerce store. My business was a quick success, which ignited a desire to expand in different areas. I embarked on a new venture with a friend who lives across the country. We started a subscription box business that encourages joy and friendship. Throughout this exciting journey, I went to college for graphic design, immersing myself in the intricate world of typography and illustration. This newfound knowledge led me to create several coloring books and planners. As the demand in the businesses grew, I discovered the fascinating world of sourcing and manufacturing, which allowed me to expand my reach and impact. I have worked with companies worldwide and spent years of trial and error uncovering manufacturers I feel honored to work with. Today, with two thriving e-commerce businesses and a passion for graphic design and sourcing, I am excited to share my experience and expertise with you. The Kumu Company is a culmination of my journey, a space where design, entrepreneurship, and sourcing converge. I hope my story inspires you to pursue your passions and turn your dreams into reality.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. Let's create something beautiful together!

Warm regards,
