the designer.

Every Nocella Original design is carefully curated to embody what Katie holds most dear when designing - the ability to create something distinct and special. With an educational background in Anthropology, Katie draws heavily on the shapes of the world and people around her. Her attention to patterns and proclivity to see fabric as expression have cultivated Katie’s ability to design perennial pieces that are equal parts delicate and powerful. For her, designing is the visual explanation of the world around her; a tangible and aesthetically choreographed ethnography of shared experience.

Nocella Designs give the wearer a new perspective on their image, creating clothing that feels good to wear. Katie’s goal is to create garments that encourage confidence, instill timeless style, and leave a smaller foot print on our planet. From reconstructing clothes to reclaiming fabric remnants from past projects for new pieces, Katie ensures that her designs aren’t just good for the body, but good for the world, too. Through this conscious gathering and collecting of materials, Katie develops a one-of-a-kind style and body of work that reflects the creative process and environmental connections.
