Quinn Katherman is a writer and director represented by Prettybird.

Quinn was born at a very young age in Richmond, Virginia. As a child she considered TV her mother. Like a feral animal that if regularly fed by another being forms an attachment, so did Quinn to television. This sounds sad but it is not. Well, not to Quinn.

Then, one day, Quinn was an adult. As an adult she knew she wanted to make the things she saw on her TV. So she found her way into advertising in a rather unusual way. She was writing greeting cards and dumping all of her rejected jokes onto Twitter. After amassing a large following, someone hired her to be a junior copywriter on a national account.

From there, she spent a long time in advertising, learning all the ins and outs of the industry. As a creative director, she led accounts and created a bunch of work that you’d say, “Oh yeah, I know that” about. She was named to AdWeek’s Creative 100 list and Business Insider’s Rising Stars list.

She joined Prettybird in 2021 and has been living her dream as a person who makes the things you see on TV since then.
