"Sometimes I look around my life & can’t help but laugh at how this idea, this brand, this whim, this chapter has touched every corner of my life - the water has left no stone unturned. Lake Effect Co. taught me to dream bigger & it helped me learn a quick, direct path to my creativity & the execution of what was born there
But like the water also taught me many times before, sometimes the tides or the winds or some unseen current takes us in new directions. I had felt a nudge for a while now that Lake Effect Co. was to find a new captain & begin a new chapter under someone else’s visioneering
I am honored, grateful & awed by your interest, support & love of the water & with that, I know you’ll be so thrilled for Lake Effect Co.’s new wave under its new owner --Aubrey Remenec, a Lake Superior mermaid with conscious retail roots & a pure Michigan heart"
- Katherine Gramann, Founder of Lake Effect Co.
"Five years ago I was driving to & from a job I hated, tears regularly falling because I knew it wasn’t meant for me, with words of a podcast playing in the background, the only thing pulling me through. Hosted by Katherine Gramann, of Lake Effect Co., she & what she created was everything I admired, resonated with & knew to be true
Fast forward five years & here we are, giving Lake Effect Co. a new home, a new mama, to me. I can’t thank Katherine enough for trusting in me & seeing the future & visions I hold for what she’s so strongly & beautifully built. It’s an honor of a lifetime
Growing up in Michigan, surrounded by the Great Lakes, I was constantly under the magical influence of the water & really all of nature. Although growing up in a small, rural town kept me far from the shorelines, it was my constant mission to actively plan my next lake day
Today, I reside in Marquette, Michigan & my love & connection to nature has only expanded along the shores of Lake Superior where it continuously shapes my existence & it is my hope that it continues to shape & inspire the very core of this brand"
