Keenly observant, passionate and thoughtful, “good enough” is never good enough for Kathy. She is known to do whatever it takes to ensure her clients are thrilled with her company’s work, and her relationships in the industry speak volumes – she’s had some of the same clients since she started out over 30 years ago. Kathy runs her business with strength, integrity and a sense of humour that permeates throughout the office..
