Online Content Creation
In 2013 Sustainability in Style the webspace, was created to document Katie’s 365 Day Wardrobe Workout Challenge. Since then this space has grown from strength to strength to the Sustainable Living Hub you see today.
Creating Meaningful Connections

Engagement
This online engagement has led to Sustainability in Style being featured in national publications (online and print). Katie was the Eco Style columnist for Nature & Health Magazine from Dec 2016 until their final issue.
EXPERIENCE

Katie has had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles all of which have contributed to the personal growth, learnings and development that see her with a diverse skillset.

Writing
Katie has been working as a content creator for online platforms since 2013, but her career in writing and journalism began early.
Through high school she worked with a team of writers to create independent street press magazines.

Communication
Katie’s passion for communication led her to a Master of Environment Majoring in Sustainability Education with focus on social media for sustainable behavioural outcomes. Katie tutored students at the University of the Sunshine Coast for Communication and Thought, and is part of the teaching team for the Fashion minor at the University of the Sunshine Coast
Marketing and Advertising
Despite the official titles, Katie’s Qualifications in ‘Fashion’ were actually more focused on Product Development and Marketing, than traditional fashion design.
Through her studies Katie was taught, working in small design teams, to develop a product from market research and concept development, through sourcing, design and logistics, to media, sales, and capturing market share. This training has been utilised in all areas of her life and has made her a powerhouse to work with no matter what the product or idea is. Katie’s worked in fashion, science, agriculture, personal development, yoga and more to help herself and others find the best way to design, build, and share their messages and products with the World.
