About

kat&co was founded in 2022 to fill the operational gap within creative businesses.

Kat Oldershaw believes that creative business owners should have processes that support their thinking – not be forced to fit into the ‘boxes’ that most systems push them into. Her intuitive approach helps her create tailored solutions that make running a business easier for her clients. 

With a degree in Psychology from UC Berkeley and over a decade of both creative and technical experience under her belt, she is the go-to person for creative teams to find order in their ideas. 

Empowering creativity through intuitive business support

What Drives Us

Relentless Curiosity

We don’t wait for answers - we go out and find them. Our curiosity drives us to constantly level up, both in our craft and as individuals. We challenge assumptions, test hypotheses, and learn more about our clients so that we can better serve them.

Joy in the Journey

We’re tackling problems that feel personal to our clients, and know that it’s a marathon and not a sprint so we enjoy the process as much as the outcome. We take our work seriously but not ourselves, and bring positive energy to every interaction.

Empathy in Action

Trust is at the core of what we build—for our customers, their teams, and our partners. We take the time to step into their shoes, listen deeply, and understand their needs. By being honest and empathetic, we create solutions that truly serve others.
