Testimonials
"Kazz has brought compassion, care and critical analysis, coupled with wit and creativity, to all the work we have done together over the last 3 years. She has an unerring commitment to inclusion and seeks to deepen her understanding of the structures & systems that exclude people so she can be a better ally. I love working with her and hope to do so again in the future." - Jay Haigh
"Working with Kazz has been invaluable. As I’m an emerging artist, not only did she provide expert marketing support that had a tangible impact - she has also kindly shared words of wisdom and gentle guidance, offering perspectives and ideas that I wouldn't have generated alone. As well as delivering exactly what she offers - and doing it very well, Kazz is a really lovely person. She's fun, friendly and kind. I feel truly lucky to have worked with her and I remain hopeful she'll be available to help me again in the future!" - Nat Hind
“I worked with Kazz on various different projects and couldn't recommend her enough. She is easy to work with, friendly, efficient and gets the job done quickly.” - Briony
