Katie Brown has an impressive resume that spans the outdoors and beauty worlds. She claimed three X-Games gold medals, two Arco International golds, a World Cup title, and victories at every U.S. National event she entered. She was the first woman to onsight 5.13d, flash 5.14a, and free the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome in one go. Katie’s achievements, including the National Outdoor Book Award, are a reflection of her unwavering determination and deep connection to the outdoors.
After a decade as a top climber, Katie embarked on a new adventure, embracing motherhood and later, a passion for bridal styling. With over ten years of experience and 500 weddings under her belt, she has channeled her focus and discipline into a different form of artistry. Yet, even outside of work, she remains true to her adventurous spirit, often found hitting the trails with her dogs, savoring coffee, exploring rivers with her family, or on the open road. She enjoys the beauty of exploration and adventure in every form.
