This week's episode is featuring Katy Williams, founder of Miller Box Co.!
"Currently a full-time Events Manager, I assist in the planning and execution of weddings, corporate retreats, & hotel events. Growing up, I always had a passion for giving in every sense of the word. I often used my creativity to connect my family and friends through family outings & events. My love for gifting really became apparent when I moved away from home and began to miss the connection I craved celebrating every birthday and holiday with my family. Enter Miller Box Co. Truth be told, I was never a fan of giving a gift that didn't have a purpose or convey any emotions. I love seeing someone cry or laugh when they read a note card, or smile when they see those bath salts they've been asking for. I started this business to follow my passion for supporting small businesses, sourcing quality products that people love & lessening our impact on the environment with reusable gift boxes made from recycled materials. "
