Hi, I'm Katie.
Founder and Director of The Creative Lodge. With over twenty years in brand strategy, design, marketing, and business development, I bring a strategic lens to every project I work on.
Since starting the business in 2019, I've helped multiple businesses in the property, finance, government, wellness, and consulting sectors grow their businesses and revenue through strategic thinking and good design.
My philosophy has always been to become an extension of your team, acting in your best interests and creating assets that empower you to feel in control of your business, brand and marketing. This is why The Creative Lodge specialises in delivering well-crafted websites in Squarespace, branding that is thoughtful and considered, but not complex, and communication design that is compelling and designed to win over your clients.
