Kaytie Rich
Australia
Kaytie Rich is the founder and owner of More Than Wildflowers, a small online boutique that makes Christian resources from the USA more affordable and accessible to people in Australia and New Zealand. Launched in February 2020, the business stocks products from US brands including Val Marie Paper, She Reads Truth, Hosanna Revival, He Reads Truth and Tiny Theologians, and serves as an Australian stockist for Hosanna Revival. Alongside this, Kaytie runs a second business, Kaytie Rich Photography.
Kaytie explains that the idea for More Than Wildflowers was sparked when she tried to buy products from She Reads Truth and found the US-to-Australia shipping cost was double the price of the product itself. A qualified dance teacher, she spent seven years instructing ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip hop before taking time off to grow her family.
Kaytie's Christian faith is central to her and to the way she frames her business as a ministry. Based in the Hunter region of New South Wales, she has shared her work more widely as a guest on the Val Marie Paper podcast, in an episode on journaling featuring customers of the brand.
