Some love. Why not?
“Kaki is one of the most hard working, dedicated and loyal colleagues I have had the pleasure to work with. Beyond graphic design and art direction, Kaki excels at creative strategy - a true partner who enjoys collaboration and tackles any problem with a relentless drive to solve it.
She has a rare combination of old school work ethic and a willingness to learn and innovate. She is also a wonderful manager who leads by example and genuinely cares for her team’s development.
She masterfully balances hard work and fun, setting a positive and productive tone around her.”

Managing Director Selectworld
Working with Kaki (her nickname!) is one of the greatest experiences I have ever had with a creative and I have been working with creatives globally for 25 years across advertising, branding and content. She is one of the hardest workers around. She understands the conceptual side of building brands, has vast experience on international accounts and is an incredibly valuable asset when it comes to operations and team management. Kaki leads and listens with a kind heart, a hilarious sense of humor and deep desire to get the job done right, no matter what. She is great with clients and a star with the internal team. She not only makes the work beautiful and meaningful....she makes the team feel beautiful inside and out!

Owner Thebrandterminal
The greatest people to work with are those who make you look forward to working every morning, those who you can learn from everyday, and those who inspire everyone around them. Kaki is one of those extraordinary people who embodies all three.
Kaki is not only dedicated to creating fresh, innovative work that truly excites clients, but she’s also a guardian and steward of the process that yields those results. She goes the extra mile with clients, turns every idea on its head, and challenges her team to do the same (and then some). With Kaki, success is so much more than the insightful results she delivers.
I worked at Kaki’s side as her copywriter for 3 years. She pushed me to grow in many ways, and I’m undoubtedly the Creative Director that I am today because of her efforts, her thoughtfulness, and her ability to raise my blood pressure while exercising my talents - in the best way possible.
In short, Kaki is an artistic force, and a spirited leader who will level-up any team around her.
