I’m Kat. My coaching clients include a Grammy nominee, top creative directors, NYTimes artist, Paris Review writer, Tribeca-selected filmmaker, and more.

They don’t breathe rarefied air, that’s a myth. All of us are on the ground together, asking ourselves:
How do I live a more creative, fulfilling life? Is this it?
Exquisite Work is a newsletter about finding the best next thing.
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 part-time job is psychoanalyzing our dog Cosmo (as in universe, not friend of Seinfeld).
I hope this space helps you make Exquisite Work.
