Testimonials

When a self-described ‘Silver Tongued Freelancer’ contacted me out of the blue I was intrigued. Kathryn, who owns KatyCan, is a gem, and I’m delighted we connected. She started on a small, fun project for me and is now busy redesigning my entire internet life. I’m thrilled with the work she’s done and is continuing to do – she’s a solid GenZ; topical, edgy and very on-point with a whip-smart brain that is one step ahead. I’m a completely satisfied client. Use her, and you will be too.
KatyCan has an expert knowledge of professional CV requirements. Katy is approachable, friendly and hard-working. She transformed my profile into something I am proud of: I am now confident in my online image and recommend her to all my clients.
