Hi there — I’m Kat.

Founder of kat&co and your friendly expert in creative operations.

  • You are not alone in feeling that way.

    Most clients begin with either Creative Business Coaching or the Design Business Intensive. Coaching is ideal when you need guidance, accountability, and a trusted thought partner. The Design Business Intensive is best for interior designers who want to improve systems, processes, and business operations through a focused strategy and implementation partnership. Check out the Creative Business Manager service if you’re looking for fractional operations leadership.

  • Interior designers are my primary specialty because I have more than a decade of experience inside design firms, but I also support visual designers, brand studios, and other creative service businesses. If you run a studio and want more clarity, structure, or support behind the scenes, we are probably a great match.

  • Creative operations is the behind the scenes structure of your studio. This includes your workflows, communication, systems, client processes, team coordination, and all the internal pieces that help your creative work run smoothly. My job is to bring clarity, simplicity, and support to these areas so your business feels lighter and easier to lead.

  • Not at all. Your business does not need to be “ready” for support. I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of the parts that feel heavy or chaotic. Messiness is normal in creative studios, and fixing it is part of the work we do together.

  • You can request my current pricing at any time. Each service page includes a simple button that lets you enter your email, and I will send a clear, easy to read PDF with all package details, inclusions, and pricing straight to your inbox. This keeps everything organized for you and makes it easy to compare options or share details with your team. If you are unsure which service is the best fit, I am always happy to help you choose!
