Meet Kat Koh, Creative Career Coach

I help people do their Exquisite Work.

Nae insaeng-ui uimi in Korean, el propósito de mi vida in Spanish, mon raison d’être in French, ikigai in Japanese, mein Lebenszweck in German, tsél’ moyey zhizni in Russian, wǒ rénshēng de yìyì in Chinese.

Translation: “my life’s work and purpose”. We’ve always known that clarity of purpose is essential to a meaningful life.

For creatives today, it’s more true than ever. Creativity that is finely tuned and profoundly human—possessing that elusive “it factor”—is exquisite. It resonates in a way AI-generated output can’t.

Why? Exquisite Work is soulful, and you and I have a soul. When someone makes something from that place, we connect with it.

So how do you find yours, play at that level? Let’s start with a wild paradox:

  1. You are the one and only you. Utterly unique.

  2. You are a drop in the vast ocean of humanity. Completely interconnected.

Nobody else has your precise blend of mind-body-spirit, upbringing, circumstances, experience, talents, personality, skills, resources, community, gifts and vision.

And they never will. So what is yours to do?

Where my clients create

“In every creative mind, you'll likely find a hamster wheel where fear, doubt, and uncertainty like to play. Kat has been instrumental in helping me break cyclical mindset patterns.

She’s helped me to create momentum and excel as an empowering, compassionate, and present Creative Director — not only to my global team of designers and developers, but my sweet family and the entrepreneurial projects meaningful to my journey. Priceless.”

We spend a lot of time working. Some people are here:

And no one wants to be there. It's stressful, sometimes sleepless, and overwhelming.

If you’re reading this, you probably want to get there:

But finding authentic, creative, fulfilling work can be hard to do alone.

Some lessons from a decade of coaching creatives:

  • Doing “what's practical" or "looks good" only gets you so far. Sooner or later, you'll want your brain to crackle and your heart to sing.

  • Tech is bananas — it's changing us and the nature of work, fast. You won’t regret making friends with this reality.

  • An existential crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
