We recently connected with Kathryn Hinnant and have shared our conversation below.

Kathryn, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

When I reflect back on what makes me, me, it is Houston. Houston is where I was born, raised, and moved back to after college. It is in my veins for 3 generations along with 6 generations of Texans. I love this city and what it has to offer. Houston is prized for its multicultural community and diversity not only through the residents, but through the businesses that call this bustling metropolis their home too. The ability to be anyone and a part of much more than just a “big city.” Houston is my home. When I think about the type of legacy I want to leave, I want to give back to Houston and the community.
Giving back to my home, bringing people together and building them up. I want to make Houston more than it is currently and let others recognize the value that it brings to us.

Kathryn, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Like every self-discovered entrepreneur, this business of mine was not founded by plan, but by a happy accident. After returning to college from an out-of-state internship, I began looking for a part-time job. Struggling to find one within my preferred industry and work schedule, it dawned on me to free-lance my creativity. This allowed me to work flexible hours for many businesses and still take care of school work. My free-lancing work blew up so quickly, Monarch Atelier was born! Named in homage for my maternal grandmother’s favorite insect and the french word for a creative studio, Monarch Atelier took flight and became a fully functioning business. We cover marketing services from social media/content creation to website design, branding, PR and photography to collaborations, sponsorships and influencer partnerships. What sets us a part from the rest is that Monarch is a one-stop-shop for all marketing needs. Housing as many services as we do under one roof, we are an ideal business for clients of all sorts from big to small marketing needs.

Come transform with us through design!

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Our creative journey is driven by the desire to connect people. Creativity is a passion and what we do because we love it. What the real mission consists of is bringing our clients together and making connections. It is something that I love doing and find is extremely helpful not only for our business, but also for our client’s businesses. Like they say, it’s not about what you know, its about who you know.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

Ironically, Facebook has been extremely good to us. That is where we get most of our referrals and inquiries from.
