Testimonials
Here's what people have to say about Katy + her work in the maker community.
Wealth of Knowledge!
Katy has a great wealth of knowledge in regards to starting and running a small handmade business. Not only did she start her own successful stationary company, but she also runs a really cool makers collective in Dallas, TX that hosts over 70 female makers and designers. As being a member of the collective for over 2 years, I know first hand how dedicated Katy is to empowering each maker to succeed and grow. I have greatly enjoyed working with her and I am grateful to be a part of the amazing community she has built.
Her Mentorship Cannot be Overstated
Katy is an inspiring person to be near. I began working at Mosaic Makers Collective as a way to fill some of my extra time while meeting like-minded people. What I have gained has been so much more! Hearing Katy's business story and spending time in her shop has inspired me to become a maker myself. She is incredibly knowledgeable on all things business and her mentorship cannot be overstated.
Tangible Advice + Encouragement!
Katy is super knowledgeable with lots of experience to draw from regarding customer demographics and trends. She is really easy to talk to, and provides inspiration, tangible advice and encouragement. All of which are invaluable to both new and solo business owners alike.
Talented at Fostering Community
I’ve seen Katy grow her own business and start Mosaic Makers and as a fellow business owner I have to say that she is extremely knowledgeable about how the process works. I’ve learned so much from her through the years. She is also talented at fostering community and networking with other business owners to find the best solutions.
