BASED IN PORTLAND, OR
Katie has always harnessed fashion as a vibrant form of self-expression and playful creativity.
After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a minor in Multimedia + Business from the University of Oregon, she embarked on her journey as a studio assistant at a boutique production agency in Portland, OR. During this time, she also designed her first jewelry collection, blending her passion for storytelling with artistic flair.
The thrill of selling vintage pieces and her handmade jewelry at the Portland Flea and various local pop-ups was so exhilarating that it ignited her dream to establish her own brick-and-mortar womem’s boutique, Backtalk. Over the course of eight years, Katie transformed three distinct spaces into a beloved Portland shopping staple, each reflecting her unique style and vision.
Her role evolved as she prepared garments for online retail, created lookbooks for the store, and enjoyed playful dress-up sessions with diverse creative teams. This seamless blend of experiences naturally led her to embrace full-time wardrobe styling, where she continues to celebrate fashion as an exciting dialogue between creativity and personal identity.
Katie has been working as a commercial wardrobe stylist since 2017
