Katie Rodgers

Katie has been on the receiving end of a number of enviable commissions of late – most recently she worked with Coach for New York’s Fashion’s Night Out where she appeared in store and illustrated a number of handbags for a line of eager customers. She grew up in Loganville, Georgia, which is definitely not the most fashionable place on earth, but She still loves it. She now lives and works in Boston. She works at Reebok as an apparel designer during the day, and run PaperFashion (a fashion illustration blog and business) in her spare time. She wanted to major in cello and design but in the end she chose design. She studied Industrial Design at Carnegie Mellon University.This lead her to focus on fashion. All of these experiences have definitely given her the knowledge and drive to be where she is now. She never sets out to be an apparel designer, or an illustrator, but somehow she was on a path to get here.
