General Information:
Name: Katie Pyle
Born: April 6, 1988
(San Francisco, California)
Early Childhood
Katie was born in San Francisco California to parents, mother Elana Krausz and father David Pyle. She grew up as the middle child in-between brother Simon who is five years her senior and sister Lorna who is two years her junior. Katie’s mother is an actress/filmmaker and her father is a real estate developer for Krausz Companies, Inc. Growing up, her parents did a lot of commuter work to Los Angles. She spend most of her summers in Malibu in a tiny shack on stilts to be closer to them. When Katie was only four years old her parents made a movie called At Risk. Her mother stared in it along side today’s Hollywood royalty, Vince Vaughn and Randy Travis. She dabbled in acting as a child, and obviously had talent running through her veins growing up with a mother who was an actress. Her drama teachers gave her only minor roles and she didn’t like practicing. So she moved on from her childhood dream of being an actress even though she had the talent. Not only does Katie have a gift for the arts, but she was also a child prodigy of sorts when it came to math. Scoring better on the SATs at the age of twelve then most high school seniors. She had a special gift when it came to math. After scoring so high on her SATs at such a young age she was awarded a John Hopkins CTY award. During her elementary years Katie attended Marin County Day School. This is a prestigious private school that Katie hated. She states that she was a nerd as a child. She says that she spent most of her youth skipping recess to sit inside and read. Obviously, all this childhood studying and smarts is what helped her out with her wise choice in adult-hood to attend Miami Ad School.
Adolescence
During Katie’s youth her parents separated in 2002. Her father stayed in the family house while her mother moved to Marin California. Katie started high school in the fall of 2002 at Marin Academy. During her four years of high school she started to get really into drawing and painting. She claims to be sort of a wild child during these years. In the sumer of 2004 she spent a summer with a family in Royan, France. Katie has studied French for ten years but still can’t speak much of the romantic language. Katie has many smarts but it appears that languages is not one of the strong points on her list of gifts. The following summer, in 2005 she spent the summer in New York City. While she was in New York she studied painting at Parsons School of Design. This summer experience is when Katie truly came into her own and formed into who she is today. This was a very special and life changing experience for her. Not only did Katie have a personal change in her inner being that summer, but her life changed when her mother gave birth to her half-sister Sophia. Katie graduated from her high school in the spring of 2006. After her graduation she went on a great adventure with her best friend back packing through out Europe for six weeks.
College Years
Katie attended Boston University in the Fall of 2006. During her four years in Boston Katie did lots of traveling. She studied in London in the fall of 2009. She also spent the summer of 2010 in Hong Kong, interning at Senses Group. Her official job was assistant marketing manager. While studying at BU she joined the National Advertising Competition team her junior year. She became the teams Creative Director her senior year. Katie graduated in 2010 with a Bachelors of Science in Advertising. After graduating she moved from Boston to Miami. She started studying Copywriting at Miami Ad School in the Fall of 2010.
Katie is young and at 22 years old she still has so much ahead of her. She has been so many places and has done so many things. She has changed many paths in her short journey of life. If things don’t work out in the crazy world of advertising, she can always go back to her childhood roots, back into acting. She still has Vince Vaughn’s phone number saved just in case things don’t work out. Even the nerdy kid can still end up with the Hollywood ending someday.
