‘until further notice, celebrate everything’

a fighter for fairytales,

Kate has designed her life from behind a powerful pair of rose-colored glasses - steadfast on finding, creating, and sharing beauty in all parts of life.

Born in Princeton, NJ and raised all over the country, her wanderlust took root at an early age. After completing a bachelors in Fine Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina, she chased her dreams up and down the east coast, to finally settle in Maryland. Constantly drawn to warmth, whimsy, and good stories, she loves championing Baltimore’s beloved, best, and brightest, all while hunting its hidden gems…

… always on the prowl for magic.

an artist and a romantic…

By nature, she is an artist and a romantic. By trade, she’s been a chef, creative, event planner, stylist, television host, and most recently, a real estate agent.  In the dynamic world of real estate, Kate saw the opportunity to marry her professional experiences with many of her passions - weaving together design, business, family, and home.  However, it wasn’t until she began to explore ownership of The Scout Guide Baltimore-Annapolis that she realized how intricately connected and intentional her journey has been.  Her exposure to so many corners of the local community heightened her appreciation for the small businesses that work tirelessly to preserve the character of cities like Baltimore and Annapolis, and their innate ability to instill a sense of place in residents and visitors alike. 

Walking shoulders back and gracefully into uncharted territory has been a recurring theme in Kate’s personal and professional worlds. She’s always preferred a professional joy ride to a conventional career path, and has been led by courage and curiosity. Feeling well positioned to take the leap, as the new owner and editor Kate will seize the opportunity to champion the entrepreneurs and businesses that make these cities thrive, advocate for the local artists, makers and dreamers, and dig deeper to discover the powerful stories behind them.

… led by courage and curiosity
