Brand & Operations Strategist

Where creativity meets Strategy

I’m Kait, writer, brand and operations strategist, and lifelong learner on a mission to explore what makes people human.

I’ve built my career at the intersection of creativity and strategy, helping visionaries and market disruptors bring big ideas to life. Whether I’m modernizing a brand’s presence, designing smarter business systems, or crafting AI tools that feel human, my work is grounded in one core belief: stories aren’t just something we tell, they’re how we build things that last.

My path here wasn’t linear. Staying home with my sons when they were infants lit a fire under me to keep my mind sharp and my curiosity fed. I dove into marketing, business strategy, tech, writing; absorbing skills like oxygen. I’m living proof that creativity isn’t just artistry; it’s a survival instinct, and strategy is its secret twin.

Clients come to me when they’re ready to think bigger and braver. They’re often fun, a little rebellious, and unwilling to settle for bland. And neither am I. I thrive on figuring things out, untangling messy problems, and finding elegant solutions that balance big-picture vision with the smallest operational details.

Alongside my consulting work, I’m also a novelist. For me, writing isn’t separate from strategy; it’s the same instinct to translate chaos into clarity, emotion into action. It’s all storytelling, whether it’s brand messaging, operational frameworks, or characters finding their way through a fictional storm.

When I’m not deep in brand audits, writing sessions, or building custom AI tools, you’ll find me at concerts soaking up live music with my husband or plotting how to teach my kids the secrets of creative problem-solving (without them realizing they’re learning).

If you’ve got a wild idea, a brand you’re ready to evolve, or a story that needs telling, I’d love to connect.
