Kathy Davis Studios Marks Anniversary Milestone
Ambler, PA – Two decades after leaving her teaching career with dreams to enter the creative field and launch her own business, Kathy Davis, now one of the world’s leading and highly-admired artists, is about to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the company that bears her name.
Kathy Davis Studios, the brainchild of Davis who serves as chief executive and visionary officer, has successfully grown from a humble corner of her bedroom to a flourishing art studio headquartered in Ambler, Pa., located outside Philadelphia, which employs 15 creative and talented individuals.
“My goal is to design greeting cards and lifestyle products that help people connect with one another and truly express themselves,” Davis says. “Scatter joy, my personal and professional philosophy, is about finding inspiration and, in turn, sharing that feeling with others and encouraging them to do the same.” Davis applies her scatter joy principle to her entire Kathy Davis® brand of greeting card and lifestyle products and accessories.
Now comprising a portfolio of more than 20,000 designs and three distinct brands (Kathy Davis®, The Studio at Kathy Davis® and Portfolio – Kathy Davis Studios™), the company has sold in excess of 100 million greeting cards worldwide throughout its history. And, through its extensive collection of licensed messages and images featured on an array of merchandise such as stationery, fabric, craft supplies, keepsake books and tabletop accessories, the company’s products generate more than 50 million brand impressions annually.
