This episode, I speak with Katie Stack, creative and owner of Stitch & Rivet. She makes the most amazing leather and waxed canvas bags. Katie also talks about having a ~*career in the arts*~ talking to people who say "you'll never do much with a career in the arts," and developing boundaries in your daily routine (whether you are a creative or not). Katie also shares why you should always spay and neuter your pets. Katie is someone I admire, and I know you will love her too!

Katie has made a career out of the arts for the past 20 years. Her career started in professional theatre costume shops as a Costume Craftsperson and Theatrical Milliner and in 2012 she left theatre to pursue her small business, Stitch & Rivet full time. Katie grew up just outside of Orlando, Florida and attended The Theatre School at DePaul University for a dual BFA in Costume Design and Costume Technology. Katie is married and now lives in a cute little condo just outside Washington, DC, with her husband, two cats, and a lot of house plants.
