Katie is such a generous and genuine person. She and I crossed paths a few times but really got to talking during my last NeoCon. Interior Design is her second career, and she went forward knowing how and where she wanted to work. Doing just that now, we talk about that journey, and much more.

Also, I’m so loud again in this episode, ugh, sorry!
