Hello,

I’m Katie

A bassoonist, oboist, and woodwind teacher exploring creativity through stationery, planning, food, and everyday routines.

My work focuses on thoughtful, lived-in planning, not perfect systems, but practices that support a creative life. On social media, I share planner rambles, routines, and glimpses into how I use paper to navigate both busy seasons and quieter ones.

This website serves as a home base where you can explore my work, quickly access my content, and find resources for planners, musicians, and foodies alike.

I received my master’s in arts management from the University at Buffalo while continuing my bassoon studies, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in music performance with a minor in English from Baldwin Wallace University. I perform with bands, orchestras, and pit orchestras across Western New York, including Avanti Music, and I teach bassoon, oboe, and clarinet to musicians of all ages and ability levels at Matt’s Music.

This space is about building a creative life that actually feels sustainable, with room for flexibility, curiosity, and change. You’ll also find the occasional hockey detour (Sabres, Amerks, PWHL), as I am a huge hockey fan.
