A little about
Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show x Doheny NYC
Started with a cold email, now we here.
In 2019, Kate and her mom were at the beach in Avalon, NJ chatting about her new dog lapel pin business. Kate's mom MaryKay, who unabashedly believes her kids can do anything, encouraged her to email the Westminster Dog Show to see if they'd be interested in custom pins of the Best in Show winners. Kate didn't have quite as much confidence in herself at the moment as her mom did, but she also knew it wouldn't hurt to try.
To Kate's total and complete surprise, she got a response, and from that moment forward her partnership with WKC started.
She is filled with immense gratitude every year as she designs the previous year's winner and looks forward to more WKC fun ahead.

In February 2020, Kate debuted her first pin in partnership with the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show.
The pin featured the 2019 Best in Show winner King the Wire Fox Terrier.
The tradition continued in 2021 and 2022 at the Westminster shows in Tarrytown, NY - with her Siba the Standard Poodle 2020 Best in Show pin, Wasabi the Pekingese 2021 Best in Show pin completely selling out over their respective big competition weekends.
In 2023, Kate's Trumpet the Bloodhound 2022 Best in Show Pin also sold out at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York.
