This article is part of a special section on Colorado’s women in business. Women in Colorado are making an impact in every industry, enterprise and workplace role imaginable. They are CEOs, startup founders, strategists and irreplaceable employees who not only are instrumental in their own organization’s success; through their daily actions and achievements, they set a precedent of possibilities for the next generation of women in business to build upon. Each article profiles the person behind the business and organization that a Colorado woman has helped build or nurture.

Katie strives to create an inclusive, efficient and fun work culture, apparent in her unique and modern office space, and clearly enjoys being at the forefront of the resurgence in American-made products, (traditionally a male-led industry) while fostering community involvement and continued growth of the industry.
