Welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Katie, a social media enthusiast and lover of my Catholic faith and Midwestern roots.
When I’m not working, you’re likely to find me drinking craft beer, hiking long trails alone, listening to a psychological thriller, praying in the dark corner of a chapel, or running a high school leadership club in St. Louis.
From the Beginning
I’ve always had a passion for crafting authentic messages and communicating truth creatively.
As a tween, I wrote a newspaper of local happenings for the neighbors. In high school, I penned novellas about my friends and revived the student paper.
After getting a Journalism degree from Marquette University, this Chicago native moved to the Big Apple and got a job at the New York Times! Dream come true… only it wasn’t! It didn’t take me long to realize 9-5 cubicle life was not for me.
In 2009, desperately seeking a creative outlet while freelancing as a business reporter, I started a fashion blog. Eventually, that hobby turned into a side hustle and then into my full-time job!
At its peak, ModlyChic had more than 165,000 IG followers and gave me the opportunity to work with brands like Facebook, Clorox, Olay, Land Rover, Stella Artois, Lee Denim, and so many more!
From Journalist to Influencer:
From Influencer to CEO:
In 2019, I took a step back and considered if I wanted to be an influencer at 40 and 50 and 60. The answer was a resounding NO. But I also didn’t want to leave social media behind.
So… I took everything I learned from 10 years of influencer work, combined it with my love for intentional, truth-driven messaging, and launched Rosebud Social Strategies!
Best Decision Ever!!!
Now, I’m blessed to help Catholic businesses and mission-minded brands navigate the world of social media in an intentional, person-centered way. I get to bring truth, goodness, and beauty into the world - one post, one business, one story at a time.

Aixa Gomez
Creative Director
In my role as creative director, I oversee the creative aspects of the content we create for our clients. This means creating a lot of the graphics, guiding the account managers in their creation process, and working with clients to hone their look.
The best part of working at Rosebud Social is the opportunity to integrate my faith into my work.
In my spare time, you'll find me rearranging my furniture, reading fashion history books, buying ANOTHER plant, experimenting with cocktails, and wandering art museums.

I’m a graduate of the University of Dallas where I studied English. I love the arts in all forms, and Rosebud Social has given me the opportunity to fuse my intellectual and visual creativity.
In my free time, you might find me listening to audiobooks, walking around the lake near my apartment, getting way too competitive at game nights, trying out a new recipe, or hanging out with my wonderful husband and daughter!

When I’m not working, you can find me browsing the local bookstore for great literature, going for long runs, or spending time with my MANY nieces and nephews.
Brisket
Mascot
This german shepherd puppy is the team mascot and trouble-maker! He loves long hikes with Katie, meeting new people, and playing fetch for hours.
You might just see him in the background of a Zoom call as he naps in the office.

One of my favorite things about working with Rosebud Social is getting to combine my love of the faith with art!
When I'm not behind a computer, you can find me behind a camera, exploring one of the local beaches, in the kitchen baking or spending time with family and friends.
