Katie was born in St. Louis but moved to Arkansas at the age of 10. She was a Razorback at the University of Arkansas, earning a degree in interior design. Katie’s first job after college was at a residential furniture store, but she moved to Springfield, Missouri when an opportunity arose with a Steelcase dealer. She eventually moved to St. Louis and became the Showroom Manager for Color Art. During her 30 years with Color Art, Katie has enjoyed multiple roles: outside sales manager, sales trainer, business development team leader, and now director of Color Art Health. Katie’s deep relationships with local health systems provided a foundation for Color Art to launch its fully focused healthcare practice in 2008. Color Art Health has grown to provide 30% of the furniture business volume.
