KATE STONE
Managing Editor
“A heart that loves is always young. And quite possibly
perennially stuck in the 70s, but that’s a personal choice.”
Managing Editor Kate Stone is a ghostwriter, columnist, copy
writer and editor who has a passion for all things social media
and graphic design. If she isn’t living in someone else’s head,
she is online or onscreen, or often both together. She is
determined to bring her love of the written word, presented as
beautifully as possible, to people whether they like it or not.
She is the sole (at present) outpost of LBDGroup in WA, but is
working very hard on changing this, and is proof positive that
the power of a collaborative community is alive and well.
