Hi! I’m Kate. I help frustrated small business owners run their operations smoother, grow their business quicker, and get more work done in a fraction of the time.
Don't spend all day putting out fires. Prevent those fires from starting with the right work in the right place. You can achieve goals, improve people’s lives, and avoid burnout, all while your business thrives.
I have experience in several departments, which helps me collaborate, understand, and solve problems better. Some of the skills I can bring to your company are below.
I like getting into projects and doing the dirty work myself, but I equally enjoy finding out what people are good at and encouraging them in a leadership role. I spend time thinking about how to make workflows more efficient and less frustrating to produce better work in less time.
The only thing better than making a great product is letting the people who will benefit from and love it know it exists. I've researched online discoverability extensively and have over five years of experience branding authors and books.
As webmaster of Ooligan Press, I contributed to a 50% increase in site visits and developed the web application for a project featured in Publisher's Weekly. I've made over 300 ebooks using the latest epub3 features.
From fiction books to children's books to cookbooks, as a Senior Layout Designer I’ve designed over 250 books. My philosophy in all design is to make it user-friendly, or easy for the right audience to find and read what they need.
I am passionate about promoting education and strongly believe in spreading digital literacy. An online course I created to teach ebook design was used in a class I helped establish and teach at Portland State University.
Books and stories are ideas, and seeing an exciting idea manifest is inspiring. From developing themes to increasing clarity and conciseness, I love working with creative people to help their ideas reach their highest potential.
