Kathryn Welsh Thompson
Vice President, Marketing
The ideas start here. When you work with a bunch of creative types, somebody’s got to be in control or things could get crazy.
In Her Own Words: When I was a kid, I remember our whole family would go to the local drug store and pick out supplies before school started. It was a big event and probably the reason I’m a paper addict today. I’ve always loved going to stationery stores and finding unique paper items. And now, whether it’s in Hong Kong, Germany, or Charlotte (or anywhere in between), I’m lucky enough to get paid to play with paper!
Kathryn’s Favorite Product: “Folders and notebooks from every collection – I can’t pick just one!!!!!” Kathryn’s just a tad enthusiastic about our products. But why not, from notebooks to laptop totes, there’s a lot to be enthusiastic about.
