The Design Of You Are Enough: Meet Miss Katie Sings

What if the most powerful brand you could build didn’t shout, it whispered, “You’re enough”? That’s the quiet revolution Miss Katie Sings is leading.

In this episode of Design Of, we sit down with Katie Norregaard, aka Miss Katie Sings, a musician, educator, and content creator who’s redefining what it means to connect with your audience. With calm clarity and cultural depth, she’s grown from a single homemade video during lockdown to a trusted global presence in children’s music, simply by being herself.

She didn’t launch with a marketing team or a strategy deck. She launched with a box of rice as a drum, a $0 brand name, and an unwavering belief that kids deserve better.

Her presence, gentle, intentional, and deeply human,  has drawn comparisons to Mister Rogers. Not because she imitates him, but because she shares his radical belief: that children deserve to be seen, heard, and taken seriously.

Here’s why this one’s worth your time: Because Katie’s story is what every brand leader, creative, educator, or purpose-driven entrepreneur needs right now, proof that authenticity scales, and that the right voice can cut through the noise by being exactly what the world needs: human.

And if you’re simply someone trying to be a good human yourself, this story will remind you how much impact one kind, clear voice can make.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How “I Am Enough” became a viral anthem for emotional resilience

• Why Miss Katie’s Mr. Rogers-style calm is her brand, and a differentiator

• How representation and anti-bias education are built into her content strategy

• What it means to grow a community by showing up gently but consistently

• How a non-flashy approach became her biggest competitive advantage

• Stories that reveal the real impact of leading with empathy and intention

“You can be loved exactly as you are.”It’s not just a lyric. It’s a strategy, and a reminder.

Whether you’re building a brand, telling a story, or trying to connect more deeply with your audience, this episode is a blueprint for how powerful simplicity and honesty can be.
