About Korie (Darby ’09) Herold

Korie (Darby ’09) Herold is a sentimental southern, boy mom who helps people tell their amazing stories through her series of prompted heirloom memory books. On a quest to find the perfect baby memory book and unable to find what she was looking for, Korie set out to design her own. This memory book, “As You Grow,” launched the Korie Herold brand and gained notoriety after Joanna Gaines selected this book herself to add to the magnolia market baby capsule in 2018.

Korie enjoys connecting with others and thrives when it comes to a good challenge. She is a proud Abilene Christian University alum and will forever be a student of the arts.
