Our Why

After seven years of dreaming, Marit Koestring launched The Door Stop out of a deep love for Door County. Inspired by the peninsula’s sense of belonging and connection, she set out to create a brand that captures its spirit—a logo people can wear proudly as a symbol of a place where you don’t just visit, you belong.

Zoë Lake founded Kiln after leaving a ten-year career in news production. While visiting family in Norway, she experienced the magic of floating sauna for the first time and became determined to bring that magic home. Zoë launched Kiln in Door County last summer before moving her operation down to Chicago for the winter.

We created Midsommar Girls to support women who are looking to build creative, independent careers, and want real world exposure to entrepreneurship. Our goal is to provide hands-on experience, honest mentorship, and community for an unforgettable and deeply rewarding summer up north.
