Service Designer Kate
I'm passionate about developing socially impactful services, with a strong focus on accessibility, DEI, international collaboration and human rights.
My core strengths include workshop facilitation, research, creative thinking and strong visual communication. I apply a wide range of design techniques in my work ranging from artistic methods, ethnographic research to business development tools.
I have over ten years of experience in interaction mediation which provides a very unique perspective and understanding of human needs and cultures.
With the combination of creative energy and academic thinking I bring both innovation and structure to all projects.

Illustrator Kate
I love to create colorful, whimsical worlds full of happiness and a bit of nostalgia. I draw inspiration from nature and everything I see. I’ve illustrated still images for a childrens’ tv programme, thank you cards and guides. I'm available for all sorts of projects and would happily welcome editorial illustrations, poster design, packaging design, data visualization and more.
