She formed an early interest in design by observing her family undertake an extensive house and garden renovation. After completing a degree in creative thinking and graduating with 1st class honours, she took her bold design approach into an exciting 20 year career in London’s brand, event and retail design agencies. Seeking a new challenge, and a desire to create physical spaces, Kate enrolled on the Garden Design Diploma at The London College of Garden Design. After graduating in 2021 with distinction, Kate began working as a designer at Tom Massey Studio where her creative, bold and detailed designs solutions, balance an understanding of client’s wishes, site context and environmental responsibility. Kate won the 2022 Society of Garden Designers Student Domestic Design award and was highly commended in the Student Commercial Design category.
