Ecommerce Sales Associate Katie Nakayama has been part of the HumanKind team since 2012 (with a three-year break when she moved away) and brings a love for intentional, timeless simplicity to everything she does. Her minimalist style leans toward neutrals, earth tones, and solid colors with interesting textures — black being her favorite go-to. At home, she creates a calm, welcoming space filled with plants, dark wood furniture, and meaningful travel mementos, including a wall collage of vintage atlas pages marking places close to her heart. Katie’s gift-giving is thoughtful down to the smallest detail — from the perfect greeting card to the stamps, stickers, and washi tape that make it extra special. Over the years, she has loved seeing HumanKind grow from a small shop with little awareness of fair trade into a vibrant community hub filled with ethically sourced goods. For Katie, what makes HumanKind truly unique is the care and intention behind every product, every maker, and every connection — a chain of purpose that extends from artisan to customer.
