Katie Okamoto

I am an editor at Wirecutter focused on sustainability and environmental health.

What I Cover

I focus on the intersections of shopping, sustainability, and environmental health. I also lead and advise on standards for reporting on environmental impacts and green marketing claims of products in Wirecutter’s coverage.

My Background

Since joining Wirecutter in 2021, I’ve written and edited across a range of topics, from allergies to yoga mats to microplastics. Since 2022, I’ve led Wirecutter’s sustainability coverage and standards, building on more than a decade spent covering products—from food to furniture—and their intersections with environmental issues, health, and culture.

Previously, I was an editor at Metropolis, an architecture and design magazine, with a focus on sustainability and health. My freelance writing has been published by The New York Times, Eater, Bon Appétit, Taste, and Newsweek.

I earned a master’s degree in architecture from Columbia (where I contributed to a book on design and climate change, The Underdome Guide to Energy Reform) and a BA in environmental studies from Brown. I also hold a certificate in life cycle assessment from MIT. In past lives, I’ve worked in design, environmental management, and radio. I currently live in Los Angeles.

Journalistic Ethics

As a Wirecutter journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in our editorial standards. In accordance with Wirecutter’s ethics policy, I never keep products after testing is completed and do not accept products that aren’t meant for testing. I don’t accept gifts, money, or favors from any person, company, or entity that might figure into our news coverage.
