About Me, Kate Newnham, Founder & CEO of Up Designs

Education

In 2018, I earned a certification from Cornell University in Whole Food Plant-Based Nutrition, a transformative experience that deepened my understanding of health, integrative care, and the future of wellness.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology from Manhattanville College in New York. Since then, I’ve lived in Connecticut, New York, Tennessee, and Chicago, and now happily call Rancho Palos Verdes, California home. Heaven!

Career

For 15 years before launching Up Designs, LLC, I led marketing accounts and creative teams at People, TIME, Aol, SPIN, UPROXX and more—developing innovative, revenue-generating digital strategies for elite brands including Microsoft, Intel, Sony Pictures, Gap, Best Buy, Unilever, VISA, Warner Bros., Kraft, J&J and many moreresulting in millions of dollars in revenue.

I helped build websites for Disney & Woven (now UPROXX), which is when I realized my love of web design.

Core Values

I most value Freedom, Adventure & Well-Being.

I believe everyone has at least 1 primary purpose in life, and we’re meant to live them out.

One exercise that changed everything for me was the “When I’m 80” reflection, helping to design a life I truly love today.
