Bio
Craig R.
Kitty's thoughtful, creative and reliable personality was irreplaceable during my final year of studies at university. Knowing that I was struggling to find accommodation for the final year Kitty sought to help me -- an absolute outsider -- and invited me into a house share group. I am still incredibly touched by this act of kindness and trust in others. Kitty's passion for arts and crafts was demonstrated a number of times as she ideated and produced a number of elegant merchandise designs for the University's Mountaineering and Climbing club (MACS). In addition, Kitty helped liaise with suppliers to ensure similarly high standard items were produced, resulting in nearly 100 unique units produced and worn by members from many parts of the world.
