What began as a 3 am dream became a global stationery phenomenon. Kristina Karlsson started kikki.K from her Melbourne apartment, turning her love for beautiful design and organisation into a brand that would grow to more than 120 stores worldwide. In this two-part conversation with Lorna Jane Clarkson, Kristina shares how kikki.K was born, the vision that drove her, and the lessons she learned turning big dreams into reality.The @nevergiveuppod is here to celebrate real stories of success and share what happens behind the scenes to make it happen. But it’s also important to us that we give back – so to thank each guest for sharing their story, Lorna Jane is donating $5,000 to a charity of their choice.Kristina’s chosen charity is the Tererai Trent International Foundation, which builds schools and transforms education opportunities for children and women in Zimbabwe.
