| Introduction | Kate traces her life's path back to a moment at the age of six when she discovered her way with visual elements as she began drawing horses. By high school she had a full load of art classes, and in 2002, she graduated from the International Academy of Design and Technology. Kate started her career in advertising as a Junior Art Director at an advertising agency in downtown Tampa. Upon leaving that position, she took on the challenge of starting the creative department for an international real estate developer, and thereafter started her own freelance graphic design company. Today, Kate is the Art Director at PeakBiety branding + advertising. She has art directed numerous ADDY award winning projects. Kate Whatley is currently the CEO of local American Advertising Federation chapter Ad 2 Tampa Bay, the unified voice of Tampa Bay's emerging advertising professionals. In June 2008, Ad 2 Tampa Bay was awarded the prestigious title "Club of the Year." The chapter was also honored with the Excellence in Advertising Education award, presented by Saatchi & Saatchi, for their education initiatives this past year during Kate's term as Education Director. www.katewhatley.com. |
