KATIE KOSMA, FOUNDER
After being in the creative industry for over 15 years, I realized my biggest joys arrived when I helped people get jobs. I was my friends’ unofficial resume-helper for years, and decided to make it official. With my combined design, editing, and writing experience, I’m ready to help craft your resume and cover letter to help you get what you want, what you need, and what you deserve.
