Some kind words (so you don't have to take my word for it!)
Hi Kate, I ordered an inky hare framed print from you on the 22nd Jan for my husband’s stepmother’s birthday, and just wanted to write you a quick message to say how much she loved it! She actually cried when she unwrapped it, immediately asking my father in law to hang it in the front room - and she’s a hard woman to please so that is testament to your talent! I was so impressed with its speedy arrival and the little details you added, the postcards, the blue ribbon - it’s those little touches that takes an ‘internet order’ to a ‘special delivery’, everything, the print especially, really was gorgeous. Thank you again, you really helped make her birthday special, my husband is a dairy farmer, so you can bet I will be ordering some inky cow loveliness from you when his birthday comes around! Many thanks.

This is a really beautiful gift for a new baby. I received it on time and was kept informed as to when I would get it. The artwork is quality and it is a unique present. Amazing value for money.

The Donkey iPad case arrived yesterday and it's fabulous - thank you! I really appreciate how quickly you organised it and I'm delighted with it and I know my Mum will love it. I will tell everyone about you, I think your designs are wonderful and are matched equally in splendour with your customer service.

Dear Kate, I got the envelope with the 3 bamboo pens today, and I have to say it really gave me the truest kindergarten-kind-of excitement, already when I saw the cute sealing sticker on it. The inside of the package was even a greater pleasure to see, really impressive, such a nice composition. The pens look perfect, very unique all three of them, and useful for my Christmas preparations. My toy hedgehog got also very excited about it. I'm sure I will recommend your creations to all of my friends too. :)

What a fabulous product! Beautiful puffin image on the case cover. IPad fits like a glove into the housing. Being able to have 2 different levels to prop the iPad at to watch 'hands free, is great as found holding it at the correct angle manually quite challenging as hurt my wrists and thumbs. Also pivots to watch portrait or landscape...kate has thought of everything in her design and what good value! Contact with the business was brilliant as well, was slightly unsure of how one of the features worked, but Kate was in touch by email the same day with a lovely friendly email explaining everything very clearly. Would highly recommend this to anyone, definately 5 star *****

Kate joined the editorial team on BBC History Magazine for holiday cover work. She produced original layouts for the magazine, worked on cover ideas and helped shape the final cover design of the March issue. She showed great problem-solving skills as well as creativity and an eye for detail.
I was particularly impressed with her general approach and how quickly she had picked up InDesign skills. She is highly motivated and conscientious, and was a pleasure to have around. We all wish her well for her future.
SF – Group Art Editor BBC History Magazine.

Kate’s work was recommended to us by a previous client when we were looking for bespoke artwork to go into our newly completed office building. We commissioned her to provide a range of framed photographic prints, reflecting the theme of what we do. She provided a wide range to choose from, and produced them quickly and to the highest standard. Her range of artfully photographed prints, were supplied in quality frames and they really give a great feel to the building – capturing what our business is all about, so well.
We have subsequently used many of the images within our company calendars sent to around 500 of our top clients, with lots of positive feedback.
For some time we produced an ‘in-house’ company magazine to distribute to approximately 3,000 customers. We considered it was time to sharpen up its look and we engaged Kate to re-design the layout and ‘feel’ of the magazine.
We were delighted with the clean, modern design she gave us; and her conscientious attitude towards every detail. It has been a very successful and fruitful relationship and I can recommend her work and professional approach, most thoroughly.

Your portfolio is very diverse and the shots are exceptionally eye catching. You are most certainly talented.

Kate worked with us preparing prints for the show, dealing with the artists and the artwork, putting up the show, working on the private view with clients and buyers and during the opening weekend. All of which she dealt with to a very high standard of professionalism, the same I would expect from any of our team here.
Handling of prints and the database of works is integral to the running of our business, and in turn the planning of an exhibition, and I was able to leave Kate entirely in charge of this. She was diligent and confident in her role and always completed the task set to the highest possible standard.
Her ability to deal with clients in a professional manner and in turn work with her fellow team and interns was exceptional and I would absolutely welcome her back to our studios with open arms! She would be a credit to any company and is a trustworthy and loyal member of the team.
We wish her good luck in everything she does and expect she will go on to do great things.

Hi Kate, I meant to look on your website for bamboo pens but got a bit side-tracked by your amazing designs! I absolutely love the woodland themed prints. As an Art teacher I think your screen printing method is fab and cheap, I'm going to try it in the classroom. I forwarded your website on to our Textiles teacher and you are on the wall as 'Designer of the Month'. The textile students are doing 'natural forms' and the graphic students are doing an illustration project so it fits right in! :)
RJ - Art Teacher
Wonderful work!
CW – Freelance Illustrator
During her time with us Kate was extremely reliable, punctual, scrupulously honest and hard-working. She was always well groomed and her work was neat and tidy. Kate was extremely quick to pick up new skills along the way, including learning how to use my computer aided design system (CAD) to such a degree that within only an hour or two she was able to produce plans from site notes she had previously helped me measure and within only a very short time she was able to complete this work on her own. This was a remarkable achievement.
Kate is a very talented, quick witted and intelligent young person quite capable of working on her own initiative. She is willing to give anything whatsoever a try, and to find the correct solution to any problem she is given. To my knowledge, Kate has always undertaken everything she does with great enthusiasm and total dedication. She is thoroughly honest, conscientious and extremely trustworthy. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to you.
Kate has the backing of a very caring, kind and considerate family, she is always thoughtful of others and strikes me as mature way beyond her years. In short, she is a very special young person.

And one from the archives:
Kate is an exemplary student whose processes of research and enquiry form a robust base for her creative and intellectual processes. Although not submitted for this competition Kate has rigorously explored a multitude of visual responses to the challenge of this brief. She has juggled this project alongside of other responsibilities as course representative and a demanding project which involves co-ordinating the entire student group within an enterprise scheme of work. Throughout this, and other work, Kate is exacting in her attention to detail and is driven by an ambition to communicate a message which is appropriate for the given challenge. Her integrity as a student is commendable.
