About Kate
Kate Go is a creativity facilitator, multidisciplinary artist, and community builder who helps people reconnect with their creativity through playful exploration, experimentation, and shared experiences.
Despite being drawn to the arts, she initially followed a more conventional path, studying biochemistry and economics before building a career in education and entrepreneurship. Along the way, she explored various creative ventures, from jewelry and clothing design to editorial and brand photography, each bringing her closer to embracing her identity as an artist.
Her own journey back to creativity, supported by creative exploration and community, inspired her to create spaces where others could rediscover their creative selves without the pressure of talent, technique, or expectations.
Today, she designs and facilitates creative gatherings and workshops that invite people to play, experiment, reflect, and connect through art and creative expression. She believes creativity isn't reserved for artists, but is an essential part of being human. It's something we all possess and can rediscover when we let go of expectations and make room for play and exploration.

“I believe everyone can expand their creativity and explore a new way of being.”
As a lover of all things creative and expressive, I play in creativity in many forms, from visual arts to music & movement.
My daily creative practice typically includes paints, scissors, and found objects. I also gravitate toward photography, collage, textiles, and string instruments.
My biggest creative projects are my life and my community, as I value connection and self-expression.

My philosophy around creativity can be summed up with a fascinating study using a test NASA developed to measure creative thinking.
Researchers gave the test to 1,600 children and followed them through the years.
At age 5 → 98% of children scored as creative geniuses.
At age 10 → 30%.
At age 15 → 12%.
In adults → only 2%.The test wasn’t measuring artistic talent. It was measuring the ability to imagine possibilities, make connections, and find more than one answer.
We are born creative, so what happens to all that possibility as we grow up?
I believe creativity isn’t something we need to learn. It’s already inside us. Maybe that’s why, even as adults, so many of us still crave the chance to make, explore, imagine, and express ourselves.
Perhaps creativity isn’t something we need to find.
Maybe it’s something we simply need to make space for again.
I am a creative, since birth.
I am an educator, since 2001.
I am a community builder, since 2010.
For years, I thrived as a professional photographer in fine art, fashion, branding, and editorial. Despite celebrating successes, I found true fulfillment only after starting communities and facilitating workshops focused on creativity and mindfulness during a creative sabbatical.
My latest creation is a conscious creative community, meeting monthly to nurture creativity and connection. It was there, through deep conversations with creatives like yourself, where I was inspired to create The Creative Return, an 8-week focused practice of creative expansion & unblocking. Next cohort starts in Feb 2027.
