About

Principal Designer
& Maker 

I work across disciplines, finding the interesting stuff in the liminal space. My mind runs at about a million ideas per minute, and somehow that's the method. I sit in the mess until something clicks, then shape it into work that's bold and always intentional.

My dog Ted also has a lot going on.
We get each other. It's a whole vibe.

Empathise Connect
Ideate Get Messy
Define - Find patterns
Implement Launch

I work with you to understand your world. I ask curious questions, dig deep, and listen for what's underneath the surface.
 

Connect

I take everything I've learned and look for the pattern hiding inside it. I define the problem to be solved. 

Find Patterns

Inspired by the world around me, I let the ideas run wild. No filter, no limits, just possibility. The best concepts are born here.

Get Messy

This is where the idea finds its body. I build, shape, and refine until something real starts to emerge.

Shape it

Challenge

We hold a mirror to the work, and get honest about what we see. Does it hold up? Does it solve what we set out to solve? Good work can take the pressure.

Launch

We send it into the world. Shaped with care, tested with rigour, and ready for whatever comes next.

Kira Hutchenson
Operations Manager, MERSA

I had an idea. Kate had a vision. What came out the other side was a brand I'm proud of and a story I finally know how to tell. The depth of thinking she puts into her work is something else entirely.

Sandra M, Director

Kate doesn't just hand over the files and wish you luck. She managed the whole process end to end, coordinating with printers and suppliers in a way that saved us so much time. She speaks their language, which meant things moved faster and came out exactly right.
