GemJoy Started With One Question.

Hi, I’m Katie —and I created Gem Joy because I wanted more connection, fun and joy with the people I love most.

It all started with one Gem that had a magical secret. Merging my love for fashion and background in engineering I started embedding magic into Gems.

Little did I know as I was growing GemJoy, I was also growing a family.

Here I am with my Mom at our first trade show with GemJoy’s first Beta product...I was 6 weeks pregnant. 

Winston was born August 27th and GemJoy’s First ready for sale product came just one month later.



My parents came over everyday to help with the baby...so I could code and bring this dream to life!




The first version of the app was launched 1 month after Winston was born.

We sold out in 30 days. I ordered thousands more. We sold out again and again and again. Winston and GemJoy were growing so fast!

It was overwhelming and the notes that people were writing were wonderful:



Today, Winston and GemJoy are five years old. The best part of this journey is the experiences I have had with the people I love the most. We are a family run and operated business! It is such a JOY.

I love seeing that moment of wonder in someone’s eyes —no matter what age. 

Let’s create some memories together.

With Love and Joy
