ABOUT FIXITY
Katherine Hayes, the creator and owner of Fixity, has been invested in “tinkering” for as long as she can remember.

Often referred to as “Lady Fixity” or “a MacGyver of sorts” she has nurtured many different skills throughout her life. After majoring in studio arts in college she continued on by working in jewelry design as a metalsmith, and eventually (happily) teaching herself various sewing techniques while creating fun Halloween costumes for her children! She always loves a good challenge and Fixity has continued to provide her with many while she invests in assisting and repairing community items.Fixity has been feature in numerous print and media coverage around the Twin Cities area such as The Villager, The Star Tribune, Twin Cities Live, Twin Cities Daily Planet, The Line Media, and more!
