Creative Director & Brand Narrator

Shaping narratives, campaigns, and content for brands worth believing in.

Intro

Hi, I'm Kate, a creative director, narrative strategist, and storyteller with 20+ years of experience helping brands find their voice and use it well.

About

I've spent two decades working with some of the sharpest people in the business, at agencies in Seattle, New York, Sydney, and New Zealand, building work that's as strategically grounded as it is human.

I've worked with all kinds of teams: fast-paced tech startups and creative nonprofits, design agencies and pharmaceutical clients, small business owners, climate lawyer-activists, professional astrologers, and some of the world's biggest brands. Whatever the brief, I bring clarity, craft, and a deep respect for the audience.

My work has been recognized at The One Show, D&AD, AWARD, and Axis.

Experience

Outside of client work, I've written two screenplays and have had short stories and magazine articles published. I hold formal training in method acting, Hakomi, improv and storytelling, and death companioning, and have a keen interest in the health and wellness space. All of it, in one way or another, finds its way into the work.
