Kate was born in Melbourne, Australia, where she works as a strategic designer, service designer and design researcher. In 2023, Kate graduated with a PhD from RMIT University’s School of Architecture and Urban Design for contributing The Archeology of service design to knowledge. The framework improves the design of heritage services in and with a place, a local community and an institution. It also incorporates interdisciplinary methods to service design, and extends the practice, literature and craft. The research encourages more critical, inclusive and ethical approaches to producing heritage narratives.
Kate’s practice scaffolds an Art History undergraduate degree, a Master of Design Futures, and 20+ years of managing, co-producing and delivering digital strategies, products and services in UK and AU markets. Kate brings that experience, a versatile toolkit, and a passion for working and learning from others through the design process.
