About Kathy Pine, Creator and Designer
Kathy is a mother of three, artist, and designer who believes in our pursuit of full, adventurous lives shaped by creativity and curiosity and led by our hearts’ passions.
Kathy is a longtime entrepreneur, founding her first company, Amplify Interactive, at age 25, where she has led the design of hundreds of websites and been integral in dozens of startup branding campaigns over the years. She has a passion for making the simple beautiful, using her rare combination of both programming and artistic skills to create functional design.
Recently, she has taken her passion for purposeful living and design into the creation of a new company, One Love Paper Co., a paper-based goods company that creates tools & inspiration for a life of creativity, passion and adventure. Her newest business has taken off in the last year with the launch of the Inspired Year Planner, a unique goal-setting calendar which received 120% funding on Kickstarter.
A few years ago, goal-setting helped changed the course of my life. I had never taken the time to write down and regularly refer to goals before, and while I had been very ambitious, I hadn’t done a very good job focusing on how I truly wanted to feel. So, I made it my goal for the year to simply slow down and enjoy the present moment. I started a family vacation tradition, rediscovered lost hobbies, and started making room for more fun in my life. Being more aware of what I cared about dovetailed into restructuring my career as well.
Taking the time to write down my goals, reflect on why they were important, and committing to them gave me newfound energy and purpose. It took effort and determination, and I realized that no matter how much we try, without focusing on our intentions regularly, we can easily get derailed.
The Inspired Year Planner came to fruition as I thought through my goal-setting process that year. I wanted to create a planner that, on a daily basis, helped women and parents feel uplifted, purposeful, and creative. And, while doing so, also provided a foundation to create and focus on goals and balance. I wanted women to enjoy a planner that helped them towards the big obvious goals (finances, weight, etc.), but also the more subtle, heartfelt goals – around the way we want to feel, the balance we want to achieve, the purpose we long for, and the self-care we know we need.
I designed the first version of the Inspired Year Planner in December 2015 – the name and details were different, but the concept was the same. I used my own art in the designs, and pulled meaningful quotes that I had saved for years in journals and notebooks. The planner was incredibly successful in its early versions on Etsy. So, in November 2016, I took on my first ever Kickstarter campaign to officially launch the planners to a wider audience.
