R&S
What do you love most about your work?
Katrina
All of the human-ness. I love that every Fix that we ship out is a story, curated by a stylist who is being thoughtful about a client, and that items from our Fixes get woven into our clients' lives and families and homes. Our whole business is one Fix, one client, one woman at a time, and it’s extremely rewarding.
R&S
On Sunday, we’ll find you wearing:
Katrina
Distressed jeans, a grey t-shirt in a great fabric (I love the Sam t-shirt from Market & Spruce), a pendant necklace (I love Gorjana’s long necklaces), and a Weekend Journal.

R&S
Your current Netflix addiction:
Katrina
Breaking Bad. I’m a little late to the party – don’t tell me what happens!
R&S
Your biggest fashion faux pas, or a regrettable style phase:
Katrina
I was really into the sheer cardigan look inspired by Cher Horowitz from Clueless in the ’90s. Possibly layered with a cropped sweater vest. Yikes.
R&S
The beauty product found in your bag at all times:
Katrina
They're Real Mascara from Benefit.
R&S
Your go-to power outfit:
Katrina
Black pointy pumps, ankle length pants (I love my Emer pants from Margaret M) and a structured short sleeve top.
R&S
You decompress each day by:
Katrina
Running at least a couple of miles every day, and doing long runs whenever I can find time on the weekends. San Francisco has challenging but beautiful terrain.
R&S
Cocktail of choice:
Katrina
The bootleg: a minty, lemony, swampy-looking drink that is famous in Minnesota, where I went to high school and where my parents live today. Mint in your teeth is part of the drink’s charm.
R&S
Favorite pizza topping:
Katrina
Almost anything! I like my pizza brimming with toppings, and I’m not very picky.
R&S
Charity/charities you support:
Katrina
I have been a mentor for BUILD, a program that teaches and inspires high school students in lower income communities through entrepreneurship. It’s an amazing organization that has transformed the lives of many, including some of the mentees I was lucky enough to work with and am still in touch with.
