I’m Kat. My coaching clients include a Grammy nominee, top creative directors, NYTimes artist, Princeton poet, ex-ILM filmmaker, and more.

It turns out breathing rarefied air is a myth. We all down here asking ourselves:
How do I live a creative, fulfilling life? Is this it?
Exquisite Work is a newsletter about creatives who look successful but feel unfulfilled.
You can expect to feel seen, get some ideas, enjoy some very niche shit, and be surprised.
P.S. As the late Thich Nhat Hanh said, “No mud, no lotus.” Suffering gives way to wisdom, compassion, and peace 🪷

This American Life vibes
I grew up first generation Korean-American with immigrant parents who owned a small house painting business in Silicon Valley.
Before coaching, I studied another kind of painting: Western art history. Both currents of East/West and digital/analog run strongly through me. They often collide in spectacular fashion.
I live in San Francisco with my Exquisite Husband, love pickles and the salt that makes them possible, wish sad song karaoke were more popular. My beloved part-time job is psychoanalyzing our dog Cosmo (as in universe, not friend of Seinfeld).
I hope this space helps you make Exquisite Work.
