Kate Allaf (nee O’Donnell) is a creative who has walked the earth before. She is one the of the smartest, most grounded and mature minds I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Kate doesn’t just put the idea, brand and experience in her thinking. She considers the impact of her work and the ethical message it sends to the world. This is evident in everything from an ad campaign right through to her industry work as part of Fck the Cupcakes – a committee of minds actively working to shift gender inequality in all aspects of our industry. Kate and I created one of the winning t-shirts to launch the initiative and her ongoing energy for change in this space is inspiring. She has an exceptional work ethic, sharp eye for Art Direction and has a manner that clients and colleagues gravitate towards. I can see Kate taking a valuable place in our industry to support the talent of tomorrow.
