As an award-winning Creative Director and Brand Designer, Catherine has led the creative vision behind numerous high-profile branding, digital, and communication projects. With nearly two decades of experience in the creative industry (including leadership roles within agencies and as a partner) she has received nearly thirty national and international awards for creative excellence, both individually and as part of multidisciplinary teams. Recognized for her strategic mindset and collaborative leadership, Catherine has a unique ability to see the bigger picture while orchestrating the ideas, people, and resources that bring ambitious projects to life. She believes that the strongest creative work emerges from trust, shared vision, and meaningful collaboration. Her expertise has also led her to serve as a university design juror, guest lecturer, speaker, and mentor, helping shape the next generation of creative professionals. As a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, Catherine proudly identifies as a woman while embracing an androgynous gender expression. She believes that femininity is expansive, diverse, and impossible to define through a single aesthetic or way of being. By pursuing creative excellence while remaining authentically herself, she hopes to help broaden the image of what successful women can look like. Her journey reflects a simple belief: every woman deserves to see herself represented, valued, and celebrated, not despite her differences, but because of them. From defining brand strategy to directing multidisciplinary creative teams, Catherine partners with organizations to build distinctive brands, meaningful experiences, and design solutions that inspire emotion, create value, and deliver lasting impact.
