Hey, I’m Katie!

I’m a doer, a dreamer, a wild woman who can’t stop, won’t stop. People are concerned about my level of productivity and energy, but somehow I just keep on keepin’ on with both in high gear. I have a lot of dreams, and Glow Worm Cafe & Play is surely at the top of that list. Why? Because I’m obsessed with community, togetherness, great aesthetics, kids, moms, being a mom, and being a small business owner. I love it all, and I have created this space for you, because I love you too.

I started Glow Worm in 2017 as a children’s clothing pop-up with a focus on ethically made goods from around the world. When I had my daughter, I started doing a lot of research about where our clothes come from, and it became really important to me to make sure that the folks creating them were making a fair and living wage. I ran Glow Worm as a pop-up for two years until I decided to move forward with my play cafe. Unfortunately some road blocks (ahem, COVID, ahem) got in the way, but now I’m back, have poured my whole heart into this again, and have built the play cafe you deserve. I promise to always keep the same values for the play cafe that I founded this company on: fair wages, high quality products, tight-knit community, and inclusivity.

Ask me all the questions. I’m an open book.
