New York, NY: KicksBySammy - Sammy Handler Artwork

She Had A Vision

This podcast is a community for women who are current or aspiring entrepreneurs or visionaries because they will hear from real, everyday female small business owners, rather than celebrities or big brands on what it really means to start and grow a business. Each episode focuses on the lessons learned on owning a small business, so one can feel better equipped with the resources and information on how to take that first scary step into launching a business, growing it and maintaining its value for years to come. Starting your own business takes grit, but also an insane amount of courage. So for the listeners if you are dreaming about your small business while currently working your day job, I hope my series of interviews will make your dream become a reality. Let's explore these amazing stories how these women had a vision and made things happen.

New York, NY: KicksBySammy - Sammy Handler

March 17, 2022 • Mary Scott Jameson

Sammy Handler is the Founder, CEO and Artist of KicksBySammy in New York, a custom and one-of-a-kind e-commerce accessories company featuring Sammy’s artwork on a variety of goods that started with sneakers and now has expanded to a variety of products across home, art and fashion. She has tapped into the gifting industry that celebrates the many milestones of life such as baby showers and birthdays to bachelorettes, to summer camp and college life. Her direct-to-consumer company began in college after painting on a pair of sneakers and it quickly launched into her self made accessories business that it is today. Sammy’s fresh, custom designs continue to grow across industry such as real estate, events and corporate gifting and even celeb and brand collaborations. Through her creative sales strategy, I’ve learned various new terms such as “the kid influencer” business, bachelorette party planners and the overall importance of establishing loyal customer base.
