About

Hey! I’m Kate Ferguson.

I’m a Writer, Filmmaker, Film Photographer, and digital nomad based in Los Angeles, California—and travel often!

I’ve found that the more I follow my curiosity, travel, and explore in general, the more connection I find in life overall—and the better my creativity flows.

There was a period of my life where I was a bit nervous to travel frequently because I thought it meant that I would miss out on work opportunities.

Eventually, I started branching out in my work and with my art, and realized how much I value expansiveness, adventure, and growth as a lifestyle.

As a long-term freelancer I’ve been working remotely since 2016. (And out of the traditional 9-5 world long before that.) Adding travel into the mix has not slowed down my work life. In fact, I’d say that living more broadly has helped clarify my values and motivate me towards the things that really align with me—all of which helps to attract more aligned experiences as well.

During my time as a freelancer I have worked in various aspects of digital and creative media. I’ve held roles as a writer, publicist, photographer, filmmaker, co-founder, CMO, and social media strategist/manager/content creator for a myriad of businesses from tech startups to fashion brands. The common thread for me has always been storytelling! I enjoy being able to utilize that in various arenas, particularly when it comes to blending the written word with visual aesthetics.

I love blogging and sharing stories about solo travel, film photography, working remotely, finding creative inspiration around the world, and just generally living a thoroughly explored life. Hope you get something out of it too!

A Few Facts About Me

I am a working creative and business owner, meaning I do a lot of work on the go! I’ve technically never had a 9-5 and started working remotely back when that was “not a thing.”

I love solo traveling and meeting people from all over the world. I think it’s particularly fun to meet other solo travelers in seemingly random places.

I’m a very curious person who loves to read, learn, and grow. I’m almost always in a class or taking a course of some sort. Growth mindset, baby!

I’m a storyteller at heart and that thread runs through everything I do and make, whether it’s using words, visuals, or some mixture of various mediums.

I’m big on intuition, manifestation, and staying tapped in. I’m certified in Reiki I, II, and animal Reiki. I like to visit places with historical and spiritual significance. Ie: Delos Island, Greece.

I’m sort of obsessed with palm trees and they are often the subject of my photography.

On photography: I mostly shoot 35mm film which I process and scan at home!
