ABOUT ME

Hi there. I’m Kate. I live in the beautiful yarra valley on a 10 acre farmlet with my hubby and 2 girls. When we bought the place 10 years ago we discovered 2 paddocks full of peonies!  So I’m now a  freelance digital marketing consultant, web designer & a peony grower.  We’ve renovated most of the house now but there are still more projects to do.  Sounds busy, but out here on the farm it doesn’t feel like it.

“I have know Kate for 18 years in a professional capacity. When she started running her own business I knew she was the right person to help us build our digital marketing program. Kate became involved with our 2 brands in 2019 (Willach and Pharmacium) and started with the basics in helping us to re-establish the brands at a values level. She also undertook an audit of what we were doing and then helped us to create and implement a digital strategy across search, social and website. There are so many aspects to working with Kate that add value to our business – most importantly she works hard, cares about us as though she was employed here and nothing is ever too much trouble.”
