Kat Creates was born out of my love of creating things, whether it’s books, games, packaging or branding. I am obsessed with all things design and have a great creative eye. With a background in publishing, I have worked on many beautiful books for kids and adults over the past 14 years for publishers including Priddy Books, Egmont, Studio Press, Chronicle Books, T&H, Rizzoli, Kane Miller and many more. I have a wealth of experience in concept development and creative direction, including 7 years working in-house at Quarto. I launched my freelance business in 2024, and am loving working on a variety of fun creative projects!
When I’m not working I can be found at gigs with my musician husband, making cocktails (I’ve finally perfected the margarita), playing computer games with my daughter and listening to podcasts. I absolutely love to travel so I am always planning our next family travel adventure! I love learning and developing my business and design skills so can often be found at design conferences and talks.
Lovely words from people I've worked with

Kat is a whizz to work with. Brimming with ideas, super creative and always up for a challenge, she's also a skilled communicator who thinks editorially as well as visually and has a talent for kids' publishing. She approaches every project with professionalism, a can-do attitude and an enviable level of efficiency - plus she's a genuine, lovely person!

I've been lucky enough to work with Kat for nearly a decade. During that time I have collaborated with her on a wide variety of book projects, all of which have benefited greatly from her bold vision, creative flair, professional approach and vast array of design skills. Kat is a highly skilled designer who always goes that extra mile to ensure briefs are fulfilled and clients are happy with the end result. She is so hard working and a dedicated team player; I couldn't recommend her highly enough!
