Kate Leo’s Summary
I am a hardworking SOB with a strong background in production (digital/television), graphic design, interactive design, copywriting (Digital), scriptwriting, information architecture, project management and programming/development.
I thrive on challenge and squirm at stagnancy. Loathing the phrase "It is what it is," you will find me consistently conceptualizing and implementing better processes to expedite the most daunting of tasks.
Call me an Internet geek - I get excited about plug-ins, new applications and clean interfaces.
I prefer to multi-task – keeps me on my toes, my ideas fresh, my drive in check.
I enjoy collaborative environments and projects which focus on promoting consumer entertainment, personal fulfillment and environmental preservation.
