Design careers rarely begin with a single defining moment.

They’re built from consistency.

For Kate Collinson, founder of Stylosaurus Studio, momentum hasn’t come from one viral post or perfectly timed launch. It’s come from steady, daily visibility- in her work, her voice and her evolving studio practice.

Consistency.
