Being Cool with Being Weird: Kate Hazen

Meet Kate Hazen, a graphic designer, brand architect, creative genius extraordinaire.

She is one of the most excellent creative directors that I have ever met, and she has so much to offer our group in terms of pushing us to think bigger and with less constriction. In this convo we talk about the time she designed a LARPing game for her company’s conference. We also talk about how she became cool with being weird, about tattoos, and about the CC Summit.
