Kate Baxter
Biography
15 years experience. Thousands of sessions. Still Inspired! I make the complex simple, the important accessible, and the strategic stuff absolutely gorgeous. Raised in a creative family with a deaf mother, I understand that clarity in visual communication isn't just an aesthetic choice - it's about genuine accessibility. Whether I'm working with pens on large scale paper hung on a wall, on a whiteboard or entirely within my iPad, the standard is the same: accessible, gorgeous and genuinely useful.

Portfolio
Kate scribed for a panel discussion on inclusive employment at a fundraising corporate lunch for our charity organisation. Working with Kate was a joy, she approached the panel session with curiosity and her insights led to a better preparation and experience for all. Kate also assisted with graphic design work including the program design which resulted in a beautiful guide and memento for all who attended. Her billboard art showcased our work on a major thoroughfare in the CBD. The speaker portraits captured the diversity and essence of our panel speakers. When we met on the day it was like greeting an old friend, we knew what to expect, Kate was switched on, attentive to the rhythm of the event and her artwork for the scribe of the conversation elevated the important discussion to an incredible level.

Kate is an attentive listener, who is able to grasp the intricacies of business issues and represent them visually with flair and creativity. Her graphic scribes and visual models help to document the richness of our client conversations and their strategic intent. In essence, she is a superstar at making the complex simple! Kate is completely at ease working with clients across a range of industries, hierarchies, and geographies, and supports facilitators readily with her astute observations of facilitation techniques based on her years of global experience in group collaboration dynamics.
- Hamish Park, Director, Melbourne Leadership Group
In preparing for our events, Kate shares her thoughts in a constructive manner and builds on ideas with creative suggestions. Nothing is too much to ask, she is always willing to help and demonstrates the utmost level of professionalism. In that sense, a true support to me as facilitator, both in process and content. Her work delivers “pieces of art”, which evolve in front of your eyes, creating excitement & amazement. Kate remains humble, despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback shared by participants. Kate’s ability to listen, translate words into visual concepts, and capture them at the same is a unique skill I admire. She finds the right balance between structure, content and visualisation, building on themes that provide cohesiveness. In summary, an absolute joy to work with Kate, in everything she brings, her graphic listening skills, her respectful contributions, her majestic calmness, her professional friendship. Overall, a beautiful human being. Highly recommended!
