Katie Davis Himmel has held various roles throughout her career in brand marketing, working with clients such as Nike, Gatorade, and Amazon. She has successfully led creative direction and design execution on a wide range of projects, from logo designs for international brands to creating 7,000-square-foot interactive branded product launches.

 

Working with Katie, you'll quickly recognize her as a visionary who not only conceives ideas but brings them to life. She embodies a blend of creativity and practicality, and she is a proactive change-maker who doesn't shy away from difficult tasks. 

 

Originally from a small cornfield town in central Illinois, Katie moved to the nearest city, Champaign-Urbana, after graduating high school. In Champaign-Urbana, she earned her associate's degree in graphic design before completing her bachelor's degree in design at Columbia College in Chicago.

 

Upon arriving in Chicago, Katie fell in love with the city—the people, the food, and the resilient grit. She graduated cum laude and made Dean's List several times. 

 

Katie lives by the mottos, "Listen to understand, not just to respond," and "Never be afraid of a good pivot." She considers herself a connector, delighted in bringing experts together while ensuring they remain effective and aligned throughout all phases of the program.

 

As a visual thinker, clear communicator, empathetic leader, and highly organized spreadsheet enthusiast, Katie consistently seeks growth opportunities.

 

Having lived in various neighborhoods across Chicago, she is now proud to call Ravenswood Manor her home. She is a mother to two wonderful boys and a headstrong terrier.

 

In her free time, Katie enjoys painting large canvases, cooking without recipes, working on home renovation projects, and adding to her growing spoon collection.
