KATHERINE DAVENPORT

Founder, Creative Director & Business Strategist

​

PROFILE: STRUCTURAL SYNTHESIS & RESULTS DISCIPLINE

A dedicated strategist with over 20 years of experience fusing high-stakes sales operations, revenue operations, and specialized creative direction. My work is built on the ability to translate complex challenges into focused, actionable protocols for immediate results - using a background that blends psychological insight, complex systems analysis, and structural storytelling. I specialize in helping creative entrepreneurs and small businesses build brands that reflect their unique vision with verifiable, structural rigor.

 

CORE EXPERTISE: INTEGRATED VALUE & STRATEGIC DEPTH

My consulting model is distinguished by the unique integration of business mechanics, creative execution, and deep analytical discipline.

  • Integrated Strategy & Systems: Expert in organizational design and revenue operations. Command over implementing high-performance CRM protocols (HubSpot, Salesforce, Folk, Zapier), managing sales velocity, and utilizing strategic frameworks to eliminate operational friction and accelerate scalable growth.

  • Authentic Creative Direction: My visual and audio work is defined by command over symbolic storytelling and technical production across analog (public domain material, hand cut collage) and generative platforms. This includes expertise in Generative AI (Midjourney,Notebook LM, Prompt Engineering, Vibe Coding), custom graphic delivery, and the engineering of proprietary IP analog/archival production processes for high-fidelity physical media.
