How I work
Before jumping to solutions, I take time to properly understand the problem. That means asking direct questions, listening carefully, and stripping things back to what actually matters. Clarity is the foundation for everything that follows.
I start with clarity
Transparency isn’t a value statement; it’s how I operate day to day. I’m clear about risks, trade-offs, and unknowns, and I’ll always tell you what I think, not just what’s easy to hear. Trust is built through openness.
I work openly and honestly
Progress comes from healthy challenge. I’m comfortable questioning assumptions, testing ideas, and pushing thinking when it’s needed - always in service of better outcomes, not ego.
I challenge with intent
My best work happens in the room - throwing ideas around, exploring possibilities, and shaping direction together. This is a collaborative process, designed to build confidence and alignment, not dependency.
I think with you, not for you
Good strategy shows up in decisions and action, not slides. Everything we work on is geared toward real-world impact, helping EV organisations move beyond niche success and scale with confidence.
I focus on outcomes, not optics
Hi, I’m Kate.
I’ve spent the past seven years working in the EV industry, helping ambitious teams turn good ideas into real-world progress. I’m an optimistic problem-solver at heart, with a background in marketing, communication, and leadership.
I founded NorthStar Studio to support EV leaders through growth and complexity, with clear thinking, open conversation, and integrity at the core.
My work is collaborative, energetic, and honest. I challenge assumptions when it helps move things forward, always with transparency and optimism.
