About Us
About KadMark – Our Story, Our Team, Our Heart
Every great business starts with a good idea — and a couple of people crazy enough to chase it. For KadMark, that story begins with two best friends, Debbie and Kim, a shared dream, and one sewing machine in Tualatin, Oregon.
How It All Began
After spending a year dreaming up what we could build together, we launched KadMark in 2018. Kim had already been in the decoration industry for decades, and I (Debbie) had run a little T-shirt business years before — so we decided to combine her experience with my curiosity, creativity, and love for people.
Kim is the hardest worker you’ll ever meet — the backbone of our production and the heart of our quality. I’m the one who loves to chat, experiment, and bring a splash of fun (and a little art) into the mix. Together, we started KadMark with just one embroidery machine, a lot of coffee, and even more determination.
Then along came Mike, our business and numbers guy — the one who keeps us balanced, organized, and on track. (Seriously, we couldn’t do this without him!)
Where We Are Today
Fast forward to today, and KadMark has grown beyond what we ever imagined. We’ve gone from one sewing machine to four, added three screen printing machines, and built a talented team of experts who have spent their entire careers in this industry.
Our team is the heart of KadMark — skilled, passionate, and proud of every single project that leaves our shop. Whether it’s one shirt or a thousand, we approach every order with the same care and attention to detail.
We’re grateful to say many of our clients have become friends over the years. We love our community, our shop, and the creative chaos that comes with running a growing business. And we’re still having a blast doing what we love every single day.
More Than a Shop — A Family
We believe work should be fun, creative, and meaningful. Around here, you’ll find good music, a few jokes, and a whole lot of teamwork. We celebrate wins big and small, take pride in every finished project, and never turn down a good happy hour.
Kim and I love to unwind with good food, a cold cider, and lately — yes — a bit of weightlifting (we’re proud of that one!). If you’re ever in Tualatin, we’d love for you to stop by our shop, say hello, or even join us on Thursdays at the local pub and sports bar.
Because at KadMark, our clients aren’t just customers — they’re part of the family.
Our Promise
At the end of the day, KadMark is built on three simple values:
-
