Hello! I'm Katie.
It's nice to meet you. I'm an event professional with 10+ years of experience planning business and consumer events for major companies. I believe events are essential to every business - whether you're trying to drive revenue, connect with customers, or create memorable employee experiences, there's an event to match your needs.
What I bring to businesses
From store activations to webinars to trade shows to bespoke events, I bring a wide range of expertise across industries.
O1. Logistic Expertise
O2. Strategy
I've spent my career creating custom programs for companies and using data to back what's working, what's not, and what needs to be tested.
O3. Quality Content
What's a great event without engaging content? I create event content that's grounded in business objectives without feeling like a sales pitch for the audience.
O4. Kindness
Producing an event is a team sport, and keeping a kind, calm demeanor with your team is key. I create a professional, yet welcoming environment during my events that drives results.
About me
Experience Highlights
Sr. Director, Events @ Suzy
Event Manager @ Crain's Chicago Business
Sr. Sales & Marketing Coordinator @ American Girl Place
I'm a firm believer that every problem has a solution as long as you have a creative mind. That's why I love events so much. As an event director, I get to be creative in so many ways. I strategize, plan, network, mentor, and problem solve all in a single day.
I found my passion for events over a decade ago when I learned that with a lot of planning (and some grit), I could create something that led to lasting memories for someone else. When I transitioned from consumer events to business events, I unlocked the power events have to create business momentum.
Beyond events, I have a passion for travel. I'm curious by nature and love learning about new cultures. I'm also a big fan of the arts, from concerts to museums. And I love baking - for me, taking a bunch of ingredients and turning them into something delicious has always felt akin to planning an event.
