Hello. I’m Kate. I am a creative director with a passion for big ideas and making ads that don’t feel like ads at all. Having lived and worked across three continents, I bring a global perspective to everything I do. My work has been recognized by Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD across a range of categories including Health & Wellness, PR, Creative Use of Data, Social and Branded Content. In addition to doing the work, I also love being part of a team, building agency culture, and mentoring young creatives. That’s enough small talk, let’s look at the work (password: hellofriend).
