About Kate Beckwith
I am a person who gets things done. In my role as Director of Operations at Type Network I led our team in accelerating the rate at which we onboard new partners and fonts by over in fewer than six months. A writer first, direct and active communication undergirds everything I do. I thrive in deadline-driven workplaces where I can use my systemic, strategic, and creative problem solving skills to maximize the talents of a team and optimize operations for even the smallest small press. I have a strong background in the design world, specifically in type and books: their histories, their production, partner contracts, foundry management, digital font licensing, royalties, communications, and marketing. everything it takes to run a modern type foundry. These skills aren\'t exclusive to type, though, I bring them along in my activities organizing and creating programming and educational opportunities in my community after work hours. My core motivation has always been education and I have fluency in a variety of educational settings, from the university classroom to the scrappy DIY workshop. This pedagogical sensibility imbues my work every single day.
