About me

Fascinated in the relationship between brands, emotion and experience. I wish to work across the artificial boundary between creativity and hospitality, considering the elements of compassion, humour and integrity when curating a sensory brand experience. I realise the importance of telling a brand story through detail of design and consistency of concept. ‘Katyand.com’ is a collection of online case studies which explore the small things that marry together to create the ultimate experience within the hospitality Industry. I am continually curious and constantly looking to take on new perspectives and rewarding challenges.
