Hi, I’m Katie

I’m a Creative Director and writer with over 12 years of experience in the ad industry. Over the years I’ve worked on everything from giant broadcast campaigns to print ads to social posts for clients big and small. My work has been awarded at Cannes and the One Show, I’ve been featured in the Business Insider’s Most Creative Women in Advertising list, and my satirical essays have been published in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and in two of McSweeney’s anthology books. I’ve also met the Cookie Monster IRL, and he was the funniest blanket with ping-pong balls glued to it that I’ve ever met.
