“I’ve always loved being part of the process from the very beginning, helping shape ideas into something meaningful,” says Berry. “MakeMake has been home to so much of my growth as an Executive Producer, and working alongside this incredibly talented team has shaped how I think about the work in every way. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and really excited for everything we’re going to build together."
Angus Wall, Founder and CEO of MakeMake, says, “This is a new era for MakeMake, and we’re stepping into it with gusto. Kate has the tenacity, finesse, and eye for detail necessary to make what we have in the works at Narrative Design happen.” "Kate has a remarkable ability to turn possibility into reality,” adds MakeMake President Eve Kornblum. “This promotion is a reflection of the leadership, creativity, and vision she brings to MakeMake.
