She has spent the majority of her life making and collaborating, whether working as creative lead in agencies in Melbourne, Sydney and London, photographing for Frankie, Smith Journal, Spaces and Yen or designing for brands large and small. Kate once even built, ran and sold a successful Melbourne café with her best mate.\n\nShe is part doer, part dreamer who gets good shit done.\n\nHaving spent many years experimenting in the kitchen, Kate’s love of food, design and photography collided when her family-focused blog,\n\nLunch Lady, was turned into a magazine. Lunch Lady is now sold worldwide.\n\nLast year, she held the first, sold out, OK Motels event at the Charlton Motel. OK Motels 2 is on Saturday 06 April.\n\nShe’s currently writing her first book with Pan Macmillan, due for release September 2019.\n\nFollow Kate and OK Motels on Instagram: @hellokateberry // @okmotels\n\nSpeaker 2: Mikey Ellis- Cultural Strategist, Pragmatic Thinking\n\nMikey is the Culture Strategist at Australia’s leading motivation and behaviour strategy company – Pragmatic Thinking.

This begins with helping people plan a healthy pregnancy.\n\nHe's an entrepreneur and product designer that loves to make stuff that is useful, easy to use and nice to look at. He's a bit from all over the place, and has lived and worked in Australia, US, Latin America, Middle East & India. He speaks 4 languages and is also a bit obsessed with Burning Man.\n\nAfter his last startup, he decided he wanted to make himself a little more useful to, you know, society... and take his skills and apply them to something meaningful. He got into genetics and healthcare to help address some serious systemic biases in the medical industry that continue to cause worse health outcomes for women, people of colour, and well, pretty much most people.\n\nEugene works to address these inequalities in health outcomes by empowering all of us, as individuals and communities, to make more informed choices about our own health and the role we play in advancing representation in healthcare research.\n\nFollow Kunal and Eugene Labs on Twitte: @kckal // @eugenelabs\n\nWe get by with a little help from our friends- our supporters KJR, Young Henrys, General Assembly & Collabosaurus.\n\nFree Tickets here: https://funmarch.eventbrite.com/\n\nFind out more and join the community at https://www.facebook.com/FUNMelb/","venue":{"name":"The Commons Collingwood","address":"38 Gipps St","city":"Collingwood"},"community":"humans-make-mistakes","city":"Melbourne","imageUrl":"/media/archive/ba0e52ffb233076703638f08-display.webp","slug":"fuckup-nights-march-world-storytelling-day-edition-259587860","sources":[{"provider":"Meetup","url":"https://www.meetup.com/fuckup-nights-melbourne/events/259587860","savedAt":"2025-04-16T08:11:12.575Z"}]},"album":null}
