Katie attended William Paterson University, where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art with a concentration of Graphic Design. Young and career hungry, Katie was extremely eager to dive straight into the art world. While completing an internship in New York City, she was able to befriend Sol, who quickly became aware of Katie’s insane talent. After the birth of Solifornia, Katie was quickly hired as the Head of Art and Design.

Small and ready to conquer the fishing world, Katie and Sol collaborated on what they felt the company should stand for. After landing on a strong idea, and five long days later, the Solifornia Logo was created from scratch using nothing but Graphite pencils. The birth of the logo became a huge impact for the future style of Solifornia’s Art. As the brand’s graphic and fine artist, Katie proceeded to encompass Solifornia through a graphic illustration-like style. She familiarized herself with sharpies, markers, black and white, and strong pops of color.

Katie creates all visual aspects when it comes to Solifornia. From generating fine art masterpieces, to spending hours on photoshop, illustrator, and indesign organizing the brand, website, and social media aspects. Thus far, it's been a crazy journey at Solifornia, & this is just the beginning. Art is one of the ingredients that can revolutionize fishing forever. "
