LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2023 / Charlie Walk, host of the popular podcast series, Walk this Way, recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Shae Hong, Founder and CEO of Made by Gather. In each weekly episode, Charlie connects with industry experts to exchange novel ideas and insights. The podcast, which has already released 22 episodes, is a treasure trove of enlightening and practical information that's guaranteed to transform the listener's life. Charlie's discussion with Shae on the KITCHENWARE STAR CHIP episode shed light on topics that ranged from Shae's personal journey to the business and industry trends.
Charlie Walk introduces Shae Hong and his company, Made by Gather, by emphasizing the importance of the kitchen as a communal space. Regardless of the size or wealth of a home, the kitchen remains a gathering place, where people come together to cook and socialize.
Shae Hong's company, Made by Gather, recognizes the significance of this space and provides products that enhance the experience of cooking and spending time in the kitchen. Shae's passion for design and fashion sparked his interest in kitchen products, but it was his own health struggles that led him to discover the need for innovation, culture, and design in the kitchen. Through Made by Gather, Shae Hong has created something that everyone can use, to bring a sense of community and joy to the kitchen.
Charlie Walk has recognized that Shae Hong's portfolio of kitchenware is based on the principles of design, accessibility, innovation, and celebrity. Shae Hong was inspired to create a brand that emotionally connected with consumers and his celebrity business partner's visit to his office proved to be the turning point for his business. They provided insight, asking why everything was "black and stainless and looked like it was made by men." She wanted futuristic and innovative designs that were easy to use. From that moment, they worked together, resulting in Made by Gather having over 200 products that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical. With her input, Shae Hong was able to create a brand that is both fashionable and accessible to all.
Shae Hong shares with Charlie Walk that Made by Gather has just announced their expansion into the home. Their recent launch of their first piece of furniture sold out in just 50 hours, proving that their move into the furniture industry was a successful one. Hong explains that their original vision for the brand was to eventually extend it beyond the kitchen, where they first began. With their success right out of the gates, they felt confident in expanding into other areas of the home where accessible design was lacking. Hong stresses that the brand was built with the right DNA to expand, and their success in their first two years proves just that. The future looks bright for Made by Gather as they continue to bring their unique design aesthetic to all corners of the home.
Shae Hong is expanding his portfolio of coveted brands with collaborations and innovative lines. Beginning with BELLA, he has continued conversations about his projects and partnerships with notables such as Ghetto Gastros. With a focus on creativity and quality, Shae is always looking for new opportunities to showcase his talents. In this Walk this Way episode Shae shares the story of putting the products into stores such as William Sonoma. Shae and his team take pride in designing and creating their products from the ground up. From the product packaging, to the design, the colors, and marketing strategies, everything is given careful consideration. Their launch with William Sonoma in September 2020 was a huge success, with demand so high that the site crashed.
Shae Hong finished the Walk this Way podcast by sharing that Made by Gather is a company that values humility and a growth mindset within its team. For Shae Hong, having team members who are not humble simply doesn't work. It doesn't matter how great the person's resume is or how experienced they are - if they have an ego, they are not a good fit. Additionally, being growth minded is a massive part of the company's culture. In order to continue growing, team members must be interested in learning and willing to take feedback. It's not always an easy task, but the company has created a culture that fosters both humility and a growth mindset.
