Member Spotlight - KushKards
Tell us about your company and/or your products.
KushKards is the original cannabis greeting card, designed so you can strike a match and light what’s attached! Each KushKard includes a slot for inserting a pre-roll or comes with a One Hitter, but to be clear, no cannabis is included. By combining cannabis with greeting cards, we’ve carved out a unique niche market for professionals seeking the perfect "gift with a lift"!
What’s your role at your company?
I am the Owner/Founder, CEO, and more! I wear multiple hats at KushKards and love every bit of it.
Why did you become a GCA member and tell us about your GCA experience so far.
I joined the GCA early on while exhibiting at the NY Gift Shows. I met Sarah Schwartz from Stationery Trends at the National Stationery Show in 2019. She introduced me to the Greeting Card Association and its wonderful community.
My experience has been fantastic! I've made some of my closest friends through the GCA, and I appreciate how welcoming everyone has been to my unique KushKards. It's great to be part of a community that shares my passion for stationery.
What inspired you to get involved in the greeting card industry?
After successfully creating a brand in the Cannabis Industry, I wanted to enter the gift market. I had proven my concept worked and decided to pioneer Stoner Stationery. I love bringing something different to paper and continually developing innovative greeting cards that reflect our motto: Give a “Gift With A Lift”!
What's something about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?
A fun fact about myself is that before starting KushKards, I spent several years as a Home Fashions Designer. One of my first major projects involved rebranding a Shower Rod program, which ended up being featured in every Bed Bath and Beyond store.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
Thank you to all GCA members for welcoming me with open arms! I'm honored to work alongside many of you and excited to keep getting more involved in the GCA!
