The Team

KAE wasn’t planned—it found us. One idea led to another, and before we knew it, we were building something we genuinely loved. Years later, we’re still at it, doing what lights us up every day.

Between the two of us, we’ve worked with big names like Myer, Big W, Target, and Kmart, as well as major brands like Disney, Marvel, Fox, Nickelodeon, Quiksilver, and Roxy. Along the way, we’ve gained a ton of knowledge in design, product development, sourcing, licensing—you name it.

Now, we use all that experience to create products that actually work for your business. We just get the job done.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the garment and accessories industry—and honestly, I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve worked across both specialty and mass-market retail, handling customer relations, product development, and overseas manufacturing to make sure everything runs smoothly from concept to production. My experience in graphic design, sourcing, and manufacturing means I can deliver innovative and reliable product solutions every time.

I’ll admit, I’m not as passionate about our own marketing as I am about creating the products—but that’s where my focus has always been: making sure our clients get the best results possible.

Kent is a true people person—he loves meeting new people and making connections. He’s also happy doing all the stuff I don’t—costing, logistics, shipping, and keeping everything running smoothly.

With over 30 years of management experience in retail and wholesale, Kent knows business inside out. His years of global sourcing trips have built strong connections across a wide range of product categories. Always focused on the customer, Kent is committed to building lasting partnerships and delivering high-quality solutions that actually work for our clients.
