Kate joined the team in early 2024 as a studio manager. With a background as a product designer turned illustrator/graphic designer, she’s a true Swiss army knife in the Hope office. As well as helping Hope run like a well-oiled machine, she flexes her creative muscles with beautiful designs that make their way into our presentations, marketing assets and social media posts.

You’ll find Kate in our Hathersage office 3 days a week – a nice little commute from her home in Eyam where she lives with her two children.

When not working or parenting, Kate makes the most of the natural splendour on her doorstep, getting out into the hills for a walk or occasionally a run. She’s also partial to a nice coffee, ideally with brunch.
