Hi, I’m Katie Xiao, a senior at UC Berkeley studying Sustainable Environmental Design and Political Economics. My interests lie at the intersection of nature, space, and human experience—how these relationships shape the urban fabric, and how we might reimagine them for a more sustainable future.

Through fine art, photography, and creative direction, I explore the ways we perceive and inhabit the world. My practice brings together observation and storytelling, connecting the intimate details of everyday life with the broader systems that shape our environments.

Across my editorial and fashion work, I bring concept, styling, photography, and art direction together. I’m interested in connecting those creative decisions to a larger story: what an image says, who it speaks to, and why it matters.
