I found Kathryn's shop on Instagram and was very impressed with the quality of her garments, you can just tell she puts a lot of thought into constructing something that will last. Combine that level of quality with bright fun fabric and one of the sweetest ladies on earth and you get Kack Designs! We were fast friends and have supported each other's endeavors ever since. My daughter has a growing collection of Kack Design originals in her wardrobe and I had the joy of creating the Kack Design logo. I'm excited that I get to share more about this lovely lady with you!
Q. My hometown is...
Prairie Village, KS
What inspires you?
God. Color. Life. My children.

Honestly, I am very math minded. I am constantly trying to figure out how to create new garments. Push myself. I love seeing the fabulous creations of others and making my own spin on it. I am seldomly happy with a pattern as is. I like to make it my own. To make it how I see it.
What's your business all about?
Fabulous fabrics!!! I love to fabric shop and share my love with others in beautiful garments!!

April 16th, 2014!!! The day after tax day. I wanted to send my little girls to catholic school and I had to try. There was no reason not to and I couldn't be more pleased with how it makes me today. Successes, failures, using my mind & talents. I feel so blessed and humbled to have come as far as I have.
What were the biggest challenges you had to overcome to get to where you are today?
Myself. Its hard to explain in words, but my biggest challenge was always second guessing myself. However, now my biggest challenge is how to market to my audience. How to grow slowly, but honestly and for my abilities.

My beautiful children and husband who inspire me everyday. As well as, my fabulous customers who come back again and again to shop small. I am so grateful for their support!!

Take your time. Reach out to others. Put yourself out there. Keep trying over and over. Reinvent yourself. Be unique!
Is there anything you would do differently if you had to start over today?
Honestly, no. I've learned from each of my successes and failures.
