Experience

Kate became immersed in the world of weddings through her love of graphic design. In her spare time, she’s created wedding invitations and signage for friends, family and celebrities through Dallas-based wedding planner and florist Gro Floral and Event Design (featured in Vogue, Over The Moon and Brides).
