Send us a text

In this episode of The Realtor Who Wines, I sit down with Kati Foster, founder of Northwest Accent, a Tigard, Oregon screen print shop and boutique. From starting in her garage during the pandemic to opening a vibrant storefront, Katie shares her journey of creativity, trial and error, and dedication to craftsmanship, hand-printing every T-shirt, sweatshirt, and design that comes through her shop.

We delve into how she curates her boutique, prioritizing women-owned, local makers while keeping products inclusive and inspired by the Pacific Northwest. Katie discusses building meaningful relationships with vendors, the importance of social media tagging to support local businesses, and how a simple Instagram post can spark connections, collaborations, and new business opportunities.

From ribbon-cutting surprises where half the crowd wore her designs, to advice for those considering a brick-and-mortar business, this episode highlights the power of community, connection, and celebrating small business wins. Katie’s passion for bringing people together, customers, makers, and even her friends, shines in every story, from pop-ups to a dream Disney outing someday.
