Katy Messersmith first arrived on the fashion scene in 2002 quite by accident. While volunteering at a women’s prenatal clinic in Africa, her life took a turn. Her luggage was lost and she was soon collaborating with the local seamstresses. Those first designs reflected the vibrant, local culture but lit a creative and entrepreneurial spark in Katy, foreshadowing the bold Katydid creations to come. Forever the risk-taker, Katy was determined to succeed, despite being self-taught in the worlds of business and fashion. Today, the company is a multi-million dollar business based in the heart of the Dallas Design District and was recently named one of INC 500’s fastest-growing private companies in America and as a Top 100 Women Owned Business in North Texas by Dallas Business Journal. Katydid has been sold in more than 5,000 boutiques and retailers across the nation. A firm believer in the power of giving back, Katy constantly looks for ways to make a difference in the community and empower emerging women. Fashion Group International of Dallas, North Texas Food Bank, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army and Suicide Crisis Center are a few of the charities Katydid Collection supports. Katy is a true Texan, she graduated from Texas A&M University and currently resides in Dallas with her husband and son.
