More About Katie
Why I work at the Iowa Center:I love working at The Iowa Center because it allows me to share the knowledge that I’ve gained from my own entrepreneurial and small business experiences, and I love helping others start and grow their own small businesses.
Ask me about … My art practice at Mainframe Studios! I love working with fiber art and making automatons.
I dream of a day when… Independent artists and musicians are able to earn a living wage from their craft and their time is valued equally with other professionals.
A few of my favorite small businesses: Mi Patria, xBk, Kathmandu, all of the artists at Mainframe Studios and HomeDitty
