For over a decade Kohl Crecelius has helped to lead the modern movement integrating social good and business.

He has founded and lead multiple brands that have worked to change the global apparel industry for the better and inform a new generation of consumers about the powerful role they play in the process.

Crecelius got an early start as a social entrepreneur when he founded his first non-profit and lifestyle brand while still attending university in 2007. Since then his companies -- Krochet Kids intl. And KNOWN SUPPLY -- have worked to humanize the apparel industry by connecting the people who make clothes to the people who wear them.
