Hi, nice to
meet you.
CEO
Dreamer, strategist, storyteller, spark-maker.
20+ years turning ideas into impact.
Kate will happily tell you she’s a dreamer, which is exactly why she co-built a business where dreaming is part of the job description. She’s the spark that keeps PINE moving, turning late-night what ifs into big, bold heck yes we did moments.
For more than 20 years, Kate has been building brands that matter and inspiring teams to do their best work, proving that positivity isn’t fluff, it’s fuel.
Part strategist, part storyteller, part professional possibility-maker, Kate helps clients break molds and make big moves.
Off the clock, Kate cranks the music while cooking, belts out full-volume carpool karaoke, and bikes or hikes like she’s got endless summer energy. She lives for lake days, ocean dips, and her favorite role of all; mama bear to two amazing humans (even if it means playing Uber driver on demand).

South Philly original.
30+ years of creative magic. Equal parts heart, humor, and hustle.
Fuhgeddaboudit! Steve is a true South Philly original, and maybe one of the largest collectors of vintage advertising icons (his obsession is very real).
With 30+ years of experience, Steve’s seen and concepted it all, from pizza chains to pharma giants, high-tech innovations to no-tech nostalgia.
His superpower? Turning client challenges into ideas that surprise, delight, and actually move the needle.
When he’s not leading creative at PINE, he’s perfecting his family’s pasta gravy recipe or teaching the next generation of minds at Temple University, a role he’s loved for over 15 years.
With Steve at the helm, PINE’s creative is equal parts heart, humor, and South Philly spice.
