I’m Katelyn, the one-woman show behind Tangerine Queen.

I’ve spent over a decade in the fashion industry at major companies like Nordstrom and The RealReal to fast-paced start-ups in their infancy and beyond. Merchandising, management, styling, designing custom clothing — I’ve done it all, unknowingly training for the moment I’d need to wear every hat at a business all my own.

In 2021, I launched Tangerine Queen to combine my two greatest passions, vintage and styling, with the goal of bringing a little more brightness into the world.

I'm a true born maximalist through and through. My personal style is bold, over-the-top, and absolutely extra, but what I love most is helping each client find their own version of self-expression (what we in the biz call “style flexing”). Hot pink and leopard are my neutrals, but if beige and cream are yours, don’t worry… I’ve got you. Over 10+ years of styling, I’ve worked with thousands of clients — from minimalist to maximalist and everywhere in between.

The Tangerine Queen showroom has become my colorful little happy place, and it’s an absolute joy to share it with anyone who walks through the door. Here, vintage happy dances are abundant, magical style moments happen daily, and everyone leaves a little brighter than when they arrived. Getting to play dress-up for a living is a dream come true and I still pinch myself every day.
