Katherine is a Toronto/LA based creative, who merges her background in the startup/tech space with her love for fashion and sneakers. She’s spent the past few years as a partner at Counter Culture, one of the top creative/influencer agencies in North America, spending most of her time ghostwriting strategies for brands and startups to (re) introduce themselves to the world (from Puma, to Canon), as well as managing some of the top creators on the internet. She also leads partnerships for Embrase, the team behind some of the leading tech conferences globally, and has been a part of their journey for the past decade. Named the "Carry-on queen" this year by Good Morning America, you can find her on social @beachykj creating content for brands from Air Canada to Complex, and building out one of the fastest growing startups in the sneaker space, the women's one stop sneaker shop; Common Ace.
She’s done talks at Parsons, Startupfest, NYU, Soho House and Hashtag Paid on scaling your personal brand/building community on the internet.
