Next in our series of Spoonie interviews, we’re introducing you to Katie, a web developer at Spoonflower. Katie blew us all away last year with her entirely self-designed and sewn letter costume, which won our employee costume contest of course! Meet Katie:
The first thing I want you to know about me is: I’m a woman who writes code.
My secret talent is: Hand-cut dovetail boxes.
The very first thing I do in the morning is: Lay in bed for precisely one snooze button. Any longer than that and traffic is terrible.
The last book I read is: The Penland Book of Woodworking
The last song I listened to is: Otis Walks Into the Woods by Mary Lattimore, a harpist I saw at Hopscotch Music Festival
I take my coffee: Never coffee! Iced, on very rare occasions, I guess. Mostly just water.
I loooooove: Baby goats
I’m really proud of: I am currently living the life I imagined for myself.
The podcast I never miss an episode of is: (don’t really do podcasts) (but I do like The Moth)
Women of Computer Science by elramsay
My favorite Spoonflower designer is: Elramsay
My favorite type of fabric is: Natural wovens, although I have been doing a lot with Organic Cotton Knit lately
My favorite design in the Marketplace is: Butt Guys and Wildlife
This is Katie’s workspace! “A stand-up desk that I created out of boxes and fabric scraps from around the factory.” Katie stands on the balance board in front of her desk most of the time.
Ready to meet more Spoonies?
Love that workspace! Really admire how you create from this space ~ it’s so uniquely functional!
