About Kat

My name is Kat, Owner + Operator of Kat&Co. We specialize in providing full-service support for creative businesses - primarily in the interior design, custom furniture, and fine art industries. Our support can range anywhere from high-level business operations, client onboarding, improving internal processes, and updating or creating customized templates... all the way to daily project, procurement, and administrative tasks. A topic that comes up frequently with my interior design clients is how to improve communication with their build team partners, along with how to attract reliable and detail-oriented build teams. John mentioned you have developed a program to assist with this communication - would be interesting to chat further about this, whether "on air" or over the phone. I'm very focused on building out my community of like-minded business owners and was excited to learn about what you're doing to improve communication, leadership, and growth amongst our adjacent industries.
