Megan Leah Gelber: Director of Product Development
Megan is a free spirit which makes her the perfect candidate to oversee all creative development of this emerging brand. She has worked in personal shopping for Prada Inc, Studio Services at Temperly London, and as a freelance stylist /image consultant. Her influences on design come from a mix of love, family, acting, travel, movies, music, but mostly those wonderful things that happen by accident in life and make your day better. She is well seasoned by juggling life between St. Louis, New York and Los Angeles. Her style can range anywhere from breakfast at Tiffany's to Penny Lane, but, you will feel her design was made just for you! That’s the reason our product is so exclusive.
Mattison McCane Gelber: Director of Sales and Marketing
Mattison’s formal education and training in art, drawing, business and marketing, make her a great Sales and Marketing leader. She grew up learning retail with Splash as a young Manager and Sales expert and traveling with Megan and Katelyn to many product shows. She is a woman on the go enjoying life, but, with a sassy drive that doesn't take “no” or “it’s not possible” for an answer. She sees Sales as creating great Partners that enjoy seeing a smile on your face when the perfect shoes are on your feet. That’s not selling, that’s just fun, and because of Mattison, our client’s are having fun!
Katelyn Young Gelber: Director of Operations
Katelyn lived in NYC selling high-end shoes, then moved to LA where she studied Business at UCLA. She has been a Rep for lines at LA market and also at Project in VEGAS. While working in studio services/personal shopping at Prada, she was recognized for her strong attention to detail, operations and leadership skills. With a fetish for Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, holey jeans and t shirts, and a constant connection to church and her Bible, Katelyn seems to be a more likely girl out of the 70’s Jesus Movement/ Rock epidemic than a young Designer and Entrepreneur. She sees the world as her oyster, as long as she can figure out a systematic approach to bringing the most wonderful and comfortable pair of shoes to life.
{about the brand}
Three sisters founded KM2, Megan, Katelyn and Mattison Gelber. They have developed a unique style that is rooted in nostalgia, has a high class, edgy flare, but is relaxed and comfortable. This comes from their mid-western roots and life experiences in both New York and LA. Having worked years in the industry, each sister brings a very different flare and skill to the company, creating a wonderful fashion blend. They have been taught from the best in fashion by a father that is an extremely successful women’s designer, and a mother who trained them to stay timeless and feminine. They also attribute all success in the business to their deep-rooted faith in God. Their training is additionally rich with the support, knowledge, and consultation of fourth generation shoe cobbler, Gregg Boyher, known for his years of expertise in shoe design and custom shoe applications. When you blend their training with their unique outlook on life and design, you get shoes that are classy, artistic and feel like they were made just for you!
The uniqueness of our line is that we mostly use vintage pieces; this means all shoes in a particular style will look alike but the ornaments are subject to change. This creates an individual product that is uniquely yours.
