Who Cares How Long Cute Takes: Building Kimberbell with Kim Christopherson

Join host Misty Doan as she sits down with Kim Christopherson, the creative force behind Kimberbell Designs, to explore an inspiring entrepreneurial journey that began with personalized pillows sold on eBay and evolved into a recognized brand in the crafting world.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kim shares how a nickname from her dad became a business name, how her husband's simple suggestion changed everything, and why staying curious has been the key to her success. From her early days as a fourth-grade teacher sewing next to her baby's crib to leading a team that spans machine embroidery, quilting, and now punch needle crafts, Kim's story is a testament to trusting yourself even when you don't have all the answers.


Key Episode Highlights:

  • From selling personalized pillows on eBay to building Kimberbell brand
  • Husband's pivotal question: "What about teaching people instead of selling finished products?"
  • "You do what you do best and hire out the rest" - scaling philosophy
  • "Who Cares How Long Cute Takes" - company motto prioritizing joy over speed
  • How a half-finished quilt became the signature "bench pillow" product
  • Expanding from machine embroidery into punch needle and handwork
  • "Stay curious" - key advice for business and creative growth
  • Making instruction feel like guidance from a best friend
