Karissa Kwok

Karissa Kwok is going to be a CEO and a titan of business someday if the Law, her chosen area of study doesn’t work out. She’ll be firing the likes of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, or tying them up in legal knots if they cross her. Karissa has built up a very healthy business selling plushies. Now I know you don’t know what they are, but the kids do and her handmade plushies are in demand. So much so that, let’s just say this young entrepreneur may have to employ some podcast hosts to help pick up the slack in the orders. Plushies are soft, cuddly, tactile crocheted animal toys that make great gifts for children of all ages.

Karissa is the founder of "Classynfancy" a crochet and jewellery business she set up while still at school with the aid of the children’s business fair. Her products can be seen and purchased across social media and are available world wide. At the time of the interview Karissa was preparing for end of year exams for her first year of A’ levels. That’s right… this budding Deborah Meaden is only 17!

Now, I know what I was doing at 17 and it wasn’t turning my parents into board members and setting up shell corporations. Ok I’m getting carried away, but she has made more money than a premier league footballer tips their hair stylist. If she keeps going at this rate, she might be able to acquire X and turn it back into Twitter. She has a head for business and creates the plushies herself, all while studying for A’ levels.
