Crafting product strategy for designers and retailers with creative integrity

Meet Katie Hartsough. She helps you build lines that stay true to your vision and still make the numbers work, drawing on twenty years as a designer, corporate buyer, VP of Merchandising and shop owner.

“Katie always seems to have her finger on the pulse of the customer landscape. She pairs this with a special ability to pinpoint the unique strengths of a business or idea and then helps to connect one with the other. It makes her consultations incredibly valuable in a consistently changing environment.”
