Hi, I’m Kristen, the founder of Bodie & Co., mom of three, and Scottsdale, Arizona local.

Bodie & Co. was born out of my love for the custom apparel industry. I started my career in marketing at the largest collegiate graphic retailer in the country and quickly found myself drawn to the creativity and connection that comes with helping people tell their stories through design. Since then, I have worked with a number of storefronts and spent several years with a DTF printing company, gaining hands-on experience across many areas of the industry.

Meet Bodie

The name Bodie (pronounced BOH-dee) means messenger, and that meaning is at the heart of what we do. Whether you're a school, nonprofit, or small business, our goal is simple: to help you share your message with the world through thoughtful, well-designed merchandise.

Bodie is also a nod to one of my favorite places, Hatteras Island in North Carolina, where I grew up spending vacations. As you cross the bridge onto the island, the last thing you pass is the Bodie Island Lighthouse. While locals may say it a little differently, we kept the more familiar pronunciation.

When you work with Bodie & Co, you are working directly with me. Every order is handled with care and attention to detail. I value clear communication, quick turnaround times, and creating products you are proud to share. Whether you are planning a fundraiser, outfitting a team, or building your brand, I am here to make the process easy and personal.

Thank you for being here. I am excited to help bring your ideas to life.
