Previously, Katie worked on the Arca project, delivering visual content, events, and activities designed to build skills, educate, and inspire in Cornwall's transition to a circular economy.
She is also a visual artist and writer who captures the inspiring magic and beauty of nature. Believing strongly in Moholy-Nagy’s opinion that the camera is a tool that can be used to see the world anew, she explores abstraction and the often-overlooked aspects of our world with close attention to detail.
