Featured Partner: Catherine Wentworth

They say two heads are better than one and on that I can certainly concur. Catherine Wentworth (Cat) is one of my collaborators on various projects and provides an alternate perspective during the design process. Working as an independent graphic design consultant can be isolating at times, but thanks to Cat, a smart second opinion is never far away.

Cat and I are also partners in Fast Coconut — a web-based collaboration for the development of larger-scale sites and related projects. For more information about Fast Coconut, click here.

She brings to the table an excellent design ability, combined with strong project management skills, and a sensitivity to the cross-cultural implications of a design. Pick a corner of the globe and it’s likely Cat’s lived there, or at least visited. A designer’s work, and their ability to solve a communications challenge, is often based in their life experiences and their breadth of knowledge. It’s often what we pull from to find the right solution. Given that, she has more than an abundant supply. Make no mistake — although Cat may appear to be a feisty blonde haired, blue-eyed lass, this designer is a first-class citizen of the world.

For relaxation, Cat plays with watercolor, mixed media, pencil, and the occasional sculpture. She is also an avid gardener (from whom I could llearn a trick or two) and, from what I hear, an avid Bridge player.

Cat is also the author of two popular blogs – Designers Who Blog and Women Learn Thai.

Thanks Cat!
