CEO - Primitives by Kathy
Kathy Phillips
Giving back has been in Kathy Phillips' heart since the very beginning of Primitives by Kathy, her wholesale gift company. The partnership with Goodwill Industries more than 25 years ago is what made Primitives by Kathy possible and the desire to provide opportunity occupationally to adults with varied limited abilities has been a part of who we are ever since. Fueled by this innate passion for providing opportunities to those with varying limited abilities - in 2017, Kathy's Circle of Friends was created.
