Learn about how we’ve pivoted DigiKind’s services
We have pivoted our offering from building sustainable communities to being a sustainable business, online and in our high street.
Kathy has been named a Finalist for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2026 – Product and Manufacturing South East. Since launching Kathy Kyle Studio, she has been commissioned by The British Museum to design a silk scarf, reimagining the Tudor Heart pendant, an opportunity to celebrate one of the most remarkable jewels of the Tudor age. With the support of a government match-funded grant, Kathy has launched not only a ready-to-wear collection and shop, she will show at WSN Who’s Next in Paris, 5-7 September 2026.
We have launched a physical presence at the historic 5 West Street, Dorking, in addition to our online offering, at KathyKyle.com. Explore our new website to discover all that Kathy Kyle Studio has to offer, from identity and design services, bespoke wearable art, ready-to-wear collection, luxury stationery and gifting, and hand painted, ethically printed accessories and clothing.
In the year since our launch, we have secured renowned stockists, showed at London Fashion Week, and continue to take commissions that include editorial, branding, identity, surface design, and all manner of bespoke. If you can dream it, we can create it.

Hear Their Stories
Among communications professionals, Kathy has the rare combination of sparkling creative skill and organised, disciplined management.
Just thank you – without the grant we would not have been able to allocate enough funds to advertise through the shop window. It keeps us in business!
“It has been a real joy to work with Digikind. Their energy and enthusiasm is infectious and this is underpinned by a creative approach and a commitment to delivering a great result and adding value.”
“Working with Kathy has been great. She has provided fantastic mentoring support to one of our comms team and designed, launched and driven forwards our brand ambassador campaign. It’s been such a positive experience and has provided incredible support to the team just where we needed it.”
“Kathy’s training has been excellent. In just under an hour, she managed to go through a comprehensive plan and strategy for social media, making things look very clear and easy to understand. She answered all our questions using real-life examples and her human oriented approach on social media is just what you need in today’s digital landscape. All while doing this pro-bono!”
“Working with Kathy was a great experience. In terms of social media presence, she took our organisation from ‘novice’ to ‘competent’ very quickly, adapting her work to suit our educational setting. Kathy is highly organised, creative and very flexible in her approach. She was generous with her creative input and mindful of our wishes at all times.”
“Kathy’s deep understanding of small start ups and the challenges they have to navigate is immense. She has an incredibly energetic and caring approach – and treats every one of her clients as a friend, which inspires confidence, trust and loyalty. She is a total asset to all small businesses she gets involved with.”
“Kathy fizzes with community spirit – early in the pandemic we connected and swapped; more latterly we threw ideas around together and shared opportunities to grow our respective businesses. She is honest, keen and hugely inspirational, and at her heart, wants to make life, communities, towns and the economy better for businesses and the public. There is no better, more fulfilling, cause, even though it’s as challenging as hell!
When you find true collaborators like Kathy, the possibilities are endless – we swap, we hookup, we share, and together we make it happen.”
“As a charity supporting emerging young leaders agreed 18-25 from underrepresented and underserved communities, the pandemic meant we had the twin pressure of supporting our community and supporting staff to develop a whole new set of skills to switch from in person delivery to digital.
You were my go to person for this. Generous with your time, your knowledge and your skill, you supported our ad hoc team of staff focusing on social media and communications. You made their experimentation feel safe and structured, you encouraged their learning and to take some risks, and you helped us develop an approach that worked for us and our needs, ultimately meaning we could better support the young people we exist to serve.
Thank you Kathy and team DigiKind.”
