Ever get sick of pastel colored 'thank you' cards covered in delicate floral patterns? Ever want to speak your mind, say what you really mean, and do so in a fun, straightforward manner? Jen Bilik knew that people wanted more personality than many greeting card companies offered, and founded Knock Knock in January of 2002 in an attempt to save the masses from "committee-created corporate products."

Jen believes that most people are intelligent enough to appreciate wit, wordplay, and conceptual thinking. Knock Knock's mission is to "integrate art and commerce - creating original, authentic, noncynical products that support themselves in the marketplace." Inspirations for Knock Knock come from Charles and Ray Eames and Tibor Kalman, designers who refused compartmentalization and brought intelligence, aesthetics, and creativity to everything they touched. Knock Knock is more than a greeting card company, they see their brand as a sensibility that people relate to on a personal level. It helps that this company knows exactly who they are, they "believe in the Golden Rule, friendly customer service, and shipping quality merchandise on time, though occasionally, like all humans, we are grumpy, and circumstances beyond our control may result in tardiness." They also have a firm belief that ethics and decency are immeasurably important, things should be both beautiful and useful, but they can also be beautiful and frivolous, humor makes everything better, idiosyncrasy, eccentricity, humor, controversy, and opinion are infinitely more interesting than corporate homogenization, and turn signals should be used.

Knock Knock creates unique products that are fun to get and even more fun to give, adding a new twist to holidays, gift giving, and every day life. Knock Knock knows that people want things that speak to their personalities, to their sense of humor, to their lighter side. In a time of corporate scandal, uber technology, and increasing workloads, Knock Knock is working to make life fun again.
