What it’s like to work with me
“Kate has an incredible ability to think both macro- and micro- at the same time. She can look at broad strategic vision for long term success and expansion, thinking about the core value of a product, and what the product market fit looks like.
At the same time she has amongst the most natural sense of design empathy of anyone I’ve worked with. She can understand what a user is really attempting to do, and how they need to do it. She’s got great clarity of language, focus, inclusion, and priority. She’s got curiosity that is contagious to the team around her. She’s impacted the designs we worked on at every stage.”

Experience Director, Education Sector
“Kate was tremendous in her role designing, guiding, and implementing our brand and communications strategy and helped to grow our base of followers while also creating dynamic and thoughtful new content. Kate has so many talents that she could play many roles within an organization but her greatest super powers are understanding people and storytelling. Any organization would be lucky to have Kate as part of their team.”
