Hi! I’m Kate.
A creative director grounded in scalable systems, storytelling, and cross-functional execution.
Creative, with a plan
Strong brands don’t just look good—they work. They scale, adapt, and stay consistent across every touchpoint without losing clarity or intent.
That’s where I focus my work.
I’m a creative director with a background in building the systems behind the brand—guidelines, workflows, content ecosystems, and cross-functional alignment that make great creative repeatable. My experience spans digital, packaging, campaigns, and global brand management, with a focus on turning complexity into something clear, usable, and cohesive.
I’m particularly interested in digital-first environments where brand, product, and storytelling intersect—and where creative thinking is as much about structure as it is about ideas.
I’m a creative director who likes both the big idea and the spreadsheet that keeps it on track. I’ve spent the last 15+ years building brands and the systems behind them, helping teams turn a flood of ideas into work that actually holds together in the real world.
My background in journalism shows up in how I work. I care about the details, I ask a lot of questions, and I’m not afraid to keep refining until something feels right. I like the messy part of the process. The brain dump, the sorting, the “this could be something” phase. Then I like shaping it into something clear, useful, and ready to go.
Creative without a plan is art. Great ideas executed with intentional visuals and meaningful copy is design.
At Eco-Products, I grew from designer to creative leader, building brand systems, leading teams, and working across digital, packaging, campaigns, and content. A big part of my role has been creating structure where it did not exist before. Brand guidelines, workflows, tools, and ways of working that make it easier for teams to do good work consistently.
I take the work seriously, but not myself. I’m collaborative, low ego, and genuinely enjoy working with smart people to figure things out. I also care about where I put my energy. I’m most motivated by companies that think beyond the bottom line and are trying to do something meaningful for people and the planet.
At the end of the day, I like making things make sense. For teams, for users, and for the brand as a whole.
