Born and raised in Boston with midwestern roots. Worked as a bike messenger, film set lackey, and intern to quirky renowned film director before discovering that I could actually get paid to do what I loved (write). Yoga addict, would-be hardcore cyclist. Social media evangelist. Content curator and strategist.
Began my writing career in dotcom (Homeportfolio.com, Razorfish), freelanced for a number of years to raise a small child, built a small yoga mat empire, and now seeking a new opportunity to make an impact. Contact me at katydowney {at} gmail {dot} com to review my resume.
I am based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“Katy is a consummate professional! She masters a trade, SEO Content, many in her industry try and fail. She doesn’t just achieve the goal — she crushes it — exceeding both creative directors’ and client’s expectations. Her ability to master different trades and topics seems effortless. She deeply understands objectives. She incents users to act (a most important achievement online). And, she’s fun to work with — my clients ask for her again and again!”
