I’ve been meaning to show you some of the stuff I’ve collected and thought it would be great to have it all together in one post.
This is a lamp I got from Pier 1. I really should’ve gotten two as they would make great living room lamps. But I only got one. Right now it’s serving as a nightstand lamp.
A Buddha statue from Target. I’ve placed it in my room to bless my surroundings.
Your simple Ikea mirror turned into gold. I coated the navy blue frame in silver glitter paint and then handpainted a foam butterfly stamp to create two butterflies in the corners.
A prize fine in Des Moines, this is a mirrorball candle plate.
It’s a mini dressmaker’s stand. It sits on my dresser looking all cute.
I’ve never been to Paris, but I wish I could go. Until then, I’ll have a piece of Paris around me with this Eiffel Tower statue.
I’ve had this for so long but love it still. I got it from the Fossil store and I love it’s 50s nostalgic drawing. Unfortunately, the ticking of the clock is so loud, it drives me bonkers. So I leave it turned off and display it for its aesthetic value.
This little home decor I found in Epcot’s Japan Pavillion. The ball is constructed out of purple thread and in the middle is a little origami girl. So delicate and beautiful.
Something I’ve also had for years. I think it came from a magazine and I think the picture is so beautiful. The hand was painted with splattered paint and the rose looks so eloquent held by the hand.
Be inspired.
Kate is a wealth of knowledge who served as a tremendous mentor for all of our team members while constantly improving processes and workflows. She’s a tremendous project manager, pays great attention to detail, and is able to demand results from her team with respect. At LoganSquarist she has built and led a team of dozens of volunteer contributors committed to her vision of a community resource. I would happily work with Kate again anytime!
I worked with Kate during my time as a community manager at Lightspan Digital while Kate was my direct manager. Kate’s communication practices really taught me how to navigate the sometimes complicated agency world. As an account manger, Kate smoothly orchestrated 10+ accounts at one time as well as help me manage and prioritize tasks in my role. Kate was a role model during my first few years in the professional world and continues to be so to this day.
Kate has been a fantastic resource for all things digital, whether redesigning my website on Wordpress, fine tuning my social media profiles, or understanding Google Analytics. She's an excellent communicator, and I will absolutely hire her again in the future.
Kate did and excellent job with our website. We have received several compliments on how nice it looks and how easy it is to navigate. She also went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to update and the website ourselves through Wordpress. I cannot gush about how awesome she is and how happy we are with the site and her dedication to the project.
I met Kate through the Association of Women Journalists (AWJ) and immediately was impressed (and inspired) by her creativity, drive, work ethic and use of social media. Her passion for journalism, digital media and communications overall is evident in the projects she takes on, including LoganSquarist, an online news outlet that she founded that uses social media to socialize the neighborhood. What I admire about Kate is her vitality as well as her desire to keep learning and growing personally and professionally. Kate is a modern-day renaissance woman who is multitalented (ask about her travel, knitting and marathon exploits!) and who brings instant value to any team or organization.
Kate has an incredible amount of drive when it comes to LoganSquarist. In the six months that I’ve been involved, I’ve watched the site grow from a pet project to a respected community publication. This success can be attributed to Kate’s technical and leadership skills. From building out the site to off-hours community management and a consistent flow of content, the site improves by leaps and bounds on a weekly basis. When it comes to team management, Kate delegates tasks in an organized and efficient manner, making her an all around great and inspiring person to work with.
Kate is a real professional and a pleasure to work with. She is a great communicator and always put her client's (my company) interest first. She is tremendously personal and had a great understanding of our business and how she could help it. She is great and is a tremendous asset to any company.
One of the best things I've ever done in my career is work with Kate Hamilton. Her enthusiasm for all things editorial, not to mention her energy and passion for any project she's involved with, is contagious. In addition to being a natural born leader, she's also a creative type, a thinker, a stickler for details, and someone with incredible vision and the drive to get things done. I always marvel at how she is constantly teaching herself new things. She always seems to be ahead of the curve on anything related to social media, and she also has an eye for design. This lady rocks! And she continues to be a mentor to me and others in journalism and communications.
