A publishing journey shaped by heritage, motherhood, and timeless stories
Kate grew up with Eastern European roots and a deep love for classic storytelling. The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, in particular, stayed with her for their beauty, emotional depth, and quiet sense of wonder.
Later, as she became a mother, those early influences returned in a new way. They shaped how she thought about the kinds of books she wanted to create: books that feel useful in everyday life, but also warm, meaningful, and worth keeping.
Today, through Rade & Co Publishing, Kate creates planners, journals, and family-friendly titles that reflect both sides of that vision. Some books help people organize and move through work with more clarity. Others invite reflection, connection, playful learning, and the kind of reading experiences that stay with you.
