Katherine
Davenport
Founder & Creative Director
High Springs, Florida
I thrive on bringing ideas to reality.
I enjoy working with creative entrepreneurs and small business owners who are building something that reflects their unique vision and connects with their audience on a deeper level.
​
My background in psychology, sales, marketing, and creative direction allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work.
Storytelling, symbolism, and Southern Gothic influences all play a role in my approach - shaped by my upbringing in the rural, isolated South and my experiences as a gay, neurodivergent individual.
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the importance of the willingness to challenge conventional thinking and the transformative power of creative expression.
​
Whether I'm designing and making clothes with my wife, Alaine, at our company analog textile works, or creating audiovisual projects, I'm always looking for new ways to connect through my creative output.
​
Kit. is more than just a consulting business; it's an extension of my creative spirit, a way to share my passion for design, innovation, and building meaningful connections.
​
I'm excited to bring this unique blend of experience and passion to Kit. - to help creative entrepreneurs and small business owners build brands that are as unique as they are through a focused, authentic process designed to cut through the usual noise and make your vision truly real.
If you're ready to connect with your audience on a deeper level and achieve your business goals with confidence and clarity, it’d be great to chat soon.
