Hi, I’m Kate!

I was born at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland but quickly moved to Whatawhata, my beloved rural home.

This small town has been my canvas for growth and discovery for eighteen years and counting.

My childhood thrived on music, sports, family and arts – anything that let my imagination run wild.

I am a self-proclaimed foodie with an undeniable sweet tooth. Coeliac disease became a part of my life five years ago, steering my quest for that perfect sweet treat.

Every summer, I spend my time at my family bach at Waitete Bay, Coromandel. I can often be found jet skiing, swimming, walking my dog or fishing.

With a keen eye for detail and an unwavering enthusiasm, I’m dedicated to refining my creative skills. My goal? To create spaces that impact my clients and society, leaving an indelible mark.
