Briefly:

With a BA in International Marketing along with German and French, Katherine quit marketing gigs in Germany and Ireland when she discovered the her inner-geek and turned to web development. Apart from a brief stint as a motorcycle mechanic, she's been at it ever since, going on to build web portals for motorcyclists, company intranets and extranets, e-commerce sites and even creating flash animations of crankshaft position sensors for her mechanics class! Katherine sampled the lifestyles of Mexico, Sri Lanka and several European countries, but an enchanting 10-month stint in Vancouver instigated a move for good where she's found cheerful colleagues and collaborators at Raincity Studios.
