Katie Quinn believes that your wardrobe and true personal style can help you live the life of your dreams, because it does for her. A chance meeting in Chicago set the stage for a career that changed Katie’s life and many others. She ran into an old friend on Michigan Avenue who was desperate for some urgent fashion help. This came as no surprise, because Katie has always been known for her innately on-point notions about what to wear and was designing and sewing cross-body bags from custom orders for classmates since high school.

After graduating from DePauw University, Katie studied at Central Saint Martins, but helping that friend dress for her new job and life showed Katie how passionate she was about helping people feel confident and empowered through style.

Katie’s process takes you into a deep dive that discovers who you are and how best to show up for your day to day life. Part award-winning wardrobe stylist, money manager, organizer, and coach –Katie navigates the endless sea of merchandise to find the things that are just right for you so you end up with pieces you will wear, and nothing you won’t. Katie’s approach to shopping is selective and mindful and creates new consumer habits that are healthier for you and the environment.

“That’s the real secret to dressing well: It’s all about attitude. It’s about walking into a room, knowing that you look and feel good, and projecting that attitude out to everyone who sees you.”
