Read the official stuff on Katie's CV here.  An active Blogger for over 10 years, you can find Katie writing online at some of these spots:

 

  1. happykatie (www.happykatie.com) - a personal blog covering topics ranging from Social Media to online communications and marketing to non profit organizations to graphic/industrial design to things that are pretty and shiny to graffiti and hip hop magic.  So yeah, pretty much everything.
  2. happykiddo (www.happykiddo.com) - a kiddo-focused blog devoted to all things Ella (the shortest person in Katie's life) along with modern parenting tips, tricks, ideas and shopping hyperness.
  3. happykatie thinks outloud (www.happykatie.tumblr.com) - a brain candy dumping ground for urban culture, DIY fashion, foodie and other completely and utterly random pieces of trivia and links. 
  4. Netsquared blog (www.netsquared.com/klaird) - Katie contributes to a little piece of the non profit technology group Netsquared discussing ways NPOs can utilize online technologies to advance their organizations' objectives.
  5. Houston Dr. Sketchy (www.houstonsketchy.com) - happykatie plays Hip Swinging Hostess to the Houston chapter of the burlesque-inspired drawing club.  Artists meet monthly for cheeky life drawing sessions, live music, silly contests and an all-around fabulous time.
