About Me

Hi! I’m Kate. I am currently the VP, Associate Creative Director of Art at Harrison & Star, specializing in oncology and rare disease space. With a robust background in creative direction, paid and organic social media, event/conference design, and art direction across pharma, food, and beauty industries, I bring a wealth of diverse experience to my role. Known for my superlative organizational skills, I excel in managing teams and projects efficiently, ensuring seamless operations and creative excellence.

Before joining Harrison & Star, I spent over 15 years as a full-time freelancer. This experience allowed me to learn and absorb diverse practices from all the places and people I had the chance to work with—from startups to Fortune 100 companies and from boutique agencies to big names in the industry. I’ve managed a wide array of projects, from social media campaigns for off-road tires to a comprehensive 360 creative strategy for a bra launch. Each project has fueled my creative passion more than the last.

I thrive on being a creative. I love devising big ideas and have the capability to concept, pitch, plan, and shoot a project with a production team. I am also hands-on with the smallest production tasks, whether resizing a 728x90 banner or crafting event graphics—quickly and efficiently. You name it, I can handle it.

Here’s a selection of brands that I have worked on in the past:

Gilead Sciences, Novocure, Regeneron, Merck, Nektar Therapeutics, Walmart, Lokelma, It’s Christmas Keep It Real by Christmas Tree Promotional Board, Pager, MediaCom, Univision, Sony, U.S Food & Drug Administration anti-smoking campaign - The Real Cost,  Kiehl’s, Lancome, Sotheby’s, Integral Communications Group, Mason Realty, Kopitiam NYC, Tracx, Margaritaville Resort Bahamas, Margaritaville Resort Orlando, Reckitt Benckiser - Enfamil, Blink Health, Tresemme, Dove,  Skintimate, DuPont, Charles Schwab, Sanofi-Genzyme, Astra-Zeneca, YouTube, lululemon, Promius Pharma, Barilla, Wasa Crispbread, Bob Evans, Godiva, Nutella, Noxzema, BFGoodrich Tires, Lycra, Amazon, Audible, Microsoft Mobile (Nokia/Lumia), Skype, Kindle, GroupMe, The Ladders, Reuters TV, American Museum of Natural History, IBM

Other than my dog & plants, I am also wildly obsessed with neon signs. This is my passion project @katefindsigns. I go around the city (and sometimes other countries!) to take pictures of neon signs. I also own an intersectional feminism tote bag small biz called Tatas & Vag NYC and a pet lifestyle brand Booop. When I am not working, you can find me at my studio doing pottery.
