Hey! I’m Kate. I’m the designer behind Make Hey. I help entrepreneurs step out of their D.I.Y era and build brands that are unapologetically THEM!

Creativity spills into every area of my life. BUT inspiration can be hard to find some days. Here’s what you’ll find me doing when I’m not designing brands…

* Chasing every last bit of the sun and the waves at one of our beautiful beaches

* With my boys hunting down the best coffee spots! Drop me your favourites in the comments below 👇🏻

* In the gym. The inspiration I can draw on when I have a clear mind? Unbeatable! And feeling strong? IYKYK…

* In my garden. Have you ever grown something and just stared at it? Like, I grew that. And it’s beautiful! Kinda like a baby 😄

Want to build a brand that’s unapologetically YOU? Is it time to leave your D.I.Y era? Send me a DM! I’d love to hear about your vision 🫶🏻

We have a new website! Oh she’s looooong over due so I am DARN EXCITED! And so bloody proud ✌🏻🌻

It FEELS GOOD to look at how you present to the world and know you are living your true AUTHENTIC SELF. This website and brand refresh better aligns with who I am and who I want to attract.

Can you say the same for your current brand or website?

Investing in your brand can attract your people, build trust and recognition.

Ready to start? Slide into my dms 😉 I am currently taking new clients.
