"Kathryn pours herself into her work, layering creative ideas with Aroha and passion. She collaborates and sharpens the ideas of others and over-delivers fantastic and imaginative work consistently. She works well under pressure, maintaining her poise in pain points with a ready sense of humour. Empathetic and generous, she supports and lifts up those around her."
Caleb Carnie, Communications Design Lead, TradeME

She was also always thinking about how to further develop her skills and support her colleagues to create brilliant stories."

Natalie Robinson, Co-Founder at OneUpOneDown and CMO at Emrod
"I found Kathryn to be highly strategic and commercial – someone who was sensitive to brand and focused on putting her audiences first – she never got lost in creative self-indulgence. Instead, her international experience means that she brings a perspective that ensures the very latest ideas and trends are utilised in the interpretation of a brief. A pleasure to work with – I highly recommend."
