Welcome to the Makers Gonna Make Show where Julie Bee interviews makers about their brand's story and the behind-the-scenes of operating their business.

Like many other successful makers, post-pandemic, Keli started what’s now Colette Paperie as a side hustle to her corporate job. She was working at a mass-merchant with her design degree. When her mother turned ill, she was able to leave her job to spend more time with her. During her mom’s time in the hospital, she received cards that were sad, and they were at a time when they really wanted to laugh.

That’s when Keli had her, “ah-ha” moment and a light bulb went off in her head and she was off to creating humorous greeting cards.
