“If Kate has declared interest in your company, you're just plain lucky… as a Creative Director, she rocked our world. She created our first brand book, and was responsible for major store redesigns, including the creation of custom fixtures. I can honestly say that there are no boutiques in the state of Hawaii that look better than ours.”

- JOE WILMOT, OWNER OF MAHINA

“Finding Kate was the greatest thing that ever happened to Milk + Bookies’ annual fundraiser. She branded the look of our event and made the whimsical childlike environment come to life. I loved every minute of working with Kate.”

- MEREDITH ALEXANDER, FOUNDER, MILK + BOOKIES

“No matter the medium, no matter the brand, Kate is a smart and strategic idea machine. She brings an energy to this business that is extremely infectious. Beyond that, she is an impressive creative director who is always going above and beyond in her job description. There are a rare few who have the additional ability to inspire, motivate, challenge and stick up for the people working under them. Even that isn't saying enough. Her enthusiasm and excitement are utterly infectious.”

- CHELSEA AARON, CHELSEA JEAN PHOTOGRAPHY

“During Kate’s time with us, she proved to be the most proficient, motivated, and talented member of the team. She was one of my closest collaborators, materializing my ideas and design plan with great expertise. She clearly displayed her talent as an artist of extraordinary ability, and was able to integrate the show’s aesthetic vision while working within our budget.”

- KELLY EDWARDS, KELLY EDWARDS, INC.

“Kate has always been a fantastic source of creativity and inspiration. Her enthusiasm around any ideas we discuss always help to make the project that much more exciting and satisfying. She would constantly bring more to the table (literally!) that you could have asked for, making a modest budget look lavish. It is always the best working with someone who just ‘gets it’!”

- NEIL MCCUTCHEON, TALBOTS ART DIRECTOR

“Kate and I met working on the Chrysler account years ago and Kate showed me her magic in designing merchandise cases for major auto shows. I think our claim to fame though was on our first initial meeting when she kept me up until 4am building an amazing pop up display in Soho for FIAT. She took me to all these amazing shops in the flower district of NYC, finding the perfect matching pieces for the wall to ceiling shadow boxes that matched the paint colors of the cars. Think lemons, peacock feathers and even jordan almonds. To say she's a visionary and hard worker is an understatement.”
