In episode #91 your favorite CEOs Taylor Graham and Chloe Willemsen sit down with Samantha Handler, the founder of Kicks By Sammy!
KicksBySammy is the custom accessories company featuring emerging artist and founder Samantha Handler’s bold and fun hand-drawn designs. Customers can choose the name, initials or phrase they want to feature on each item, for a one-of-a-kind, personalized touch. Offering home goods, fine art, fashion accessories and more with collections themed to back-to-school, college, camp, bridal, etc., KicksBySammy offers statement-making must-haves & gifts for any age and occasion.
After hand-painting her Keds sneakers during her freshman year at the University of Maryland and receiving tons of positive feedback, Samantha became a self-made CEO at just 18. She turned her sneaker-painting side hustle into a full-time career, launching KicksBySammy in 2017 as a manifestation of her love of drawing and fashion.
Samantha has since expanded KicksBySammy into a booming customization business across various categories and has collaborated with celebrities/influencers such as Walter Parks, Stephanie Gottlieb, David Oliver Cohen, and Justice Smith; and corporations including NBCU, CBRE, and Sweet Spot. Samantha also creates artwork for events, invitations, promotional products, murals, and more.
