Bio
Jeff Pyla
Kate is a detail-oriented art director that knows how to adapt her work style to fit client-specific brand standards. Add to that, she has a firm grip on production and studio needs to help keep projects moving through the system. Part art director, part production person, Kate is a great piece to any larger creative team puzzle. In no way is she a task-master, but she'll help create systems and keep things organized too. Loved having her on my team.

Katherine is smart. The good kind of smart. Not smart-ass smart. Or that smarty-pants type that everyone tolerates but secretly no one really likes. She's just smart. Whip-cracking smart. Make you think smart. Wish you had thought of that smart. And it shows in her work. Every time. And always smarter than you thought it could be.
