She actively embraces the term “specialized generalist.”

Kate's diverse and intense interests are constantly taking her and her clients to new places—her background spans technology, marketing, interactive media and business management. She's worked with corporations, startups and nonprofit organizations to help them grow, change and successfully chart new paths in ambiguous times and shifting markets.

Kate finds inspiration in a wide variety of subjects: semiotics, textile arts, origami, code, urban design, fire and other dangerous things. She is an active community leader as well as a formidable welder who captures her inner life in a sketchbook (volume 26 and counting). She also spends an inordinate amount of time organizing and re-organizing her garage.
