About.

Regional heart.

Kate Howarth Digital (KHD) is owned by Kate Howarth and has been operating for nearly 20 years!

Kate has been involved in every aspect of digital marketing for her entire career, from content creation and web design to strategy, information architecture, usability and accessibility. Her experience is broad and encompasses many industries including tourism, hospitality, the arts, local and federal government, construction, education and agriculture.

She is also an experienced business and communications manager, event manager, print designer and community influencer.

Following what felt like a lifetime working in Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane in government and for big corporates, Kate went moved to the bush with her kids - taking in the Southern Tablelands, Far South Coast and the Riverina. She now works remotely from her home-base in Tumut NSW.

Kate is hands-on. She does everything from initial client consultation, developing strategies, user interface design, colour schemes, logos and content writing, coding and website design and development. Kate engages technical contractors and usability testers as required and is part of an extensive network of quality content creators, programmers and designers - including photographers, videographers, graphic designers and even drone operators and music producers.

If Kate can’t do it for you, she has someone on-hand who can deliver quality content for your website or marketing campaign.

Kate has a personal interest in photography and very occasionally has time to be engaged to shoot portraits, events and private functions. She is a keen supporter of regional arts and has been part of the Regional Arts NSW network for over 15 years. Kate is committed to growing small business in regional areas and supports Business Snowy Valleys - part of the Business NSW network - organising events, networking and project management.

She loves hanging out with dogs and horses, hates snakes and is not fond of olives or oysters. Kate is addicted to Wes Anderson films and the words of Cormac McCarthy. She drinks a lot of coffee.

Kate Howarth Digital won the 2021 award for Excellence in Micro Business from the Tumut Regional Chamber of Commerce & was a regional finalist in the Business Riverina Murray Awards.

In 2025, five of Kate’s clients took home Snowy Hydro Business Snowy Valleys Business Awards and were regional finalists in the Business Riverina Murray Awards, with one going on to the Business NSW state finals. A KHD client won Bronze in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Tourism Experiences category at the 2025 Australian Tourism Awards.

Rinse and repeat for the Bega Valley Business Awards in 2025 - with two clients winning the local round and going on to regional finals. And just now, in 2026 a client has won the Innovation category in the Jindabyne Business Awards.

Kate is a founding member of the original team behind Giiyong Festival, NSW’s largest regional celebration of Aboriginal Arts and Culture. Kate continues to work with the new producers in a consultancy capacity.
