After a decade in NYC and 8 years at Hearst magazines, working as a Style Director and styling photoshoots across multiple brands including Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Women’s Health, Cosmo, Woman’s Day, Redbook, and Dr. Oz, Cate launched her own creative studio, Buttermilk Collective.
The goal of every project for Cate is to create something authentic for the brand and client she is styling for. She takes time to research each project, gets to know the heart and vision behind the client, and pours that inspiration into each shoot. Cate adapts to each project at hand, with a personal style that gravitates towards well-loved & lived-in spaces, naturally arranged flowers, and comfortably curated tabletop stories. However, she’s not afraid to design clean sets, positioning products or people as the focal point. Cate offers an honest vision–not to mention, a good sense of humor–and a problem solving curiosity for any challenge that might arise.
She is looking forward to hearing about your project!
