I had an excellent experience working with Kate Geary at 10 DESIGN. She recruited me for the position, providing insight and support to establish a new role within the firm, logistics of moving overseas, and ongoing guidance while there. Kate's expertise extends into the operations of 10 DESIGN's four offices, across four countries, where she skillfully manages the complexities of an international firm with staff from over 30 countries.
