Hi. I’m Katherine Prato.
A Miami native with a mix of Colombian and New York Italian vibes, the eldest of three girls in our multicultural home. It's been quite the ride from my early days as a bilingual kindergartener to steering my own production company.
Journey from Bilingual Kindergartener to Production Pro
Kindergarten started with me speaking only Spanish, leading to lots of puzzled looks, but it made for some funny memories.
With a degree in Fashion Design, I unexpectedly found my home in photography and photo shoots. Starting as a wardrobe assistant, I now thrive on the production side.
Whether bringing concepts to life through stills or video, turning an idea into reality, or coordination and project management, it is where I find my sweet spot. The buzz of being on set, surrounded by fellow creatives and visual storytellers, is where I excel.
The fashion world seamlessly merged with the energy of photo and video production, creating a fulfilling career that marries creativity, coordination, and management.
From Wardrobe Assistant to Entrepreneur
After several years in the industry, I took a leap. I decided to start my own photo and video production company. Fast forward a decade, and here we are, rocking it and doing work we love.
Every project is significant, and I relish telling impactful stories, whether it's an entertainment shoot, product marketing, or projects aimed at raising awareness and social consciousness. We put our heart into helping bring these concepts together for our clients.
Taking that leap into entrepreneurship was a game-changer, a bold move that defined my path. A decade later, the success of my venture is a result of pouring genuine love into every project.
Sustainability
I am increasingly drawn to a cause close to my heart—environmental consciousness. We must be aware of our impact in an industry that thrives on visuals. From sustainable practices on set to promoting eco-friendly initiatives, I'm dedicated to making a positive change.
Being environmentally conscious isn't just a trend for me; it's a responsibility. As we create visual stories, we also need to be mindful of the environmental footprint we leave behind.
This commitment extends to the materials we use, the energy we consume, and the awareness we raise among our clients and peers. Together, we can contribute to more sustainable practices in the industry and on set.
Now, let's dive into the fun stuff about me.
I've lived in Miami, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and New Orleans, each city leaving its distinct mark on my journey.
And yes, I'm a Scorpio who celebrates her birthday like a national holiday!
Green is my go-to color; I'm all about clothing, fashion, thrifting, film cameras, photography, reading, travel & adventuring. Traveling down the coast in a camper van is one of the best ways to soak in the breathtaking beauty of our coastline. I highly recommend it.
Did I mention I'm a proud plant mom? That's right, picture me juggling plants, a kiddo, and a sweet pup. Living the dream with a dash of greenery and a whole lot of creative passion!
Life As A Creative Entrepreneur
My journey is a mix of being a modern creative entrepreneur—navigating challenges, adapting, and chasing what feels right. Life is a constant ebb and flow; there's no script, no set path.
From my early days as a bilingual kindergartener, navigating the fashion world, and now steering my own production company, every twist and turn has shaped this journey.
As a mom, entrepreneur, and spirited individual, I'm about keeping genuine interactions inspired by creativity and a commitment to authenticity. Cheers to the adventure!
