About Our Designer
Founder and Creative Director Kristin Coia, is the visionary businesswoman behind the famed lifestyle brand. While pregnant with her eldest child Henry, Kristin quickly discovered there was a great need in the marketplace for simple, classic baby apparel that was stylish, high quality and both organic and sustainable. Though spending years in event planning & hospitality, she was ever-desirous of owning her own business. Therefore in 2007, the idea for her own line and the niche she had found in the market culminated in the creation of Go Gently Baby.
To date, the company has evolved into the lifestyle brand, renamed, Go Gently Nation. The brand focuses on baby, kid’s and women’s apparel and accessories, however, a menswear collection is on the horizon.
Now, a mom of two and vegan for nearly two decades, Kristin, and her family live out their organic and sustainable lifestyle authentically at home and in the workplace.
