Over the years, Kate has re-built and re-branded Moda. She created KB9 and a series of unique and outstanding workshops and living & design showroom spaces; was featured in Vogue Living Australia and invited by Auto Classic BMW to the Vogue Living Women of Excellence Dinner; and ran an incredible Living Movement event at The Towers in Elizabeth Quay. Kate has hosted countless Living Experience events with the Miele Experience Centre in Claremont; was listed in Design Et Al’s Worlds’ Leading Design Names 2020 and nominated for international design awards; and despite operating a design studio from the most isolated city in the world during a global pandemic, continues to be awarded with international contracts for homes and commercial developments alike.
