Résumé

Hi! My name is Katie.

Before I became an art director, I worked for a toothbrush start-up.
I learned a lot about dental health. I’m now really passionate about flossing.

Other boring things that excite me: running, the smell of tennis balls, lemon desserts, senior dogs, obscure Spongebob quotes, coffee mugs, and reading the book before seeing the movie.

But it’s the simple ideas with big possibilities that really get me going.
