You may recognize Katelyn — she used to be the Events Manager for us here at Forge! She is now one of our awesome members with the company Quire Consulting.

Q: What’s the last show you binge-watched?
A: We are currently making our way through Letterkenny rather quickly in the Foote household.

Q: Is there a product you can’t live without?
A: My ember mug – I drink my coffee sooo slow. I might be able to live without it but all my coffee would be cold.

Q: What’s your ideal weekend in Birmingham?
A: I love a chill Birmingham weekend with good food and friends! I’m all for sleeping in and enjoying a slow morning with coffee, a good book, and my cats. Then I love stopping by some of my favorite shops like Thank You Books and Urban Suburban. Throw in some food and drinks from Zaza or El Barrio and I’d say that’s a perfect mix for a great weekend.

Q: In addition to your job title, tell us a little bit about what you do/ what your company does.  
A: I am a Design Research Associate with Quire Consulting. Quire is a human-centered innovation consultancy – which means I get to ask a lot of questions, listen to people, and help them solve problems and move their organizations forward!


Q: What is your favorite thing about Forge?
A: The people, of course!
