Freedom School Co. Web Design and Marketing
“Hiring Katie was one of the best decisions I made in 2023! I was looking for a marketing specialist to assist me with a website revamp and I knew that I wanted to work with someone who offered an Indigenous lens. We spent 4 months refining my core messaging and my positioning in the Indigenous communities. Katie took my vision, saw things I wasn't able to on my own and wove my mission into a literal piece of art. I was blown away with the final product. Her guidance, expertise, creative flair and organization are unmatched. She really has a gift and her passion is palpable through everything she touches!”
