Katherine represented APDO as part of the Clear Your Clutter Day 2017 campaign. She is obviously passionate about decluttering & organising and added value as one of our panel experts discussing the UK’s clutter issues. She is very fluent and knowledgeable about her subject and quite confident on or off camera.

"An enthusiastic, engaging and energetic speaker".

Katherine came to speak at one of our London Minimalists MeetUp Events. She was an enthusiastic, engaging and energetic speaker and her talk and tips on decluttering and organising was well-received by the attendees. We all were at different stages on our journey to simplify and organise our lives and we all took something useful from Katherine’s talk.

Regina Wong, Leader of the London Minimalists MeetUp Group and author of 'Make Space'

"The audience clearly wanted to hear more of her practical tips and tricks".

As part our very first Her-Event, Katherine delivered an amusing and light-hearted workshop encouraging our attendees to sort their stuff out! She kept to her 45 minutes timeslot but the audience clearly wanted to hear more of her practical tips and tricks and Katherine added value by staying around to talk and engage with delegates. We can't wait to work with her again!

Tiffany Curry, founder of Her-Event
