Our Story
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 Gem Joy, 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
