Kate MacKinnon is the President and Owner of Creative Feng Shui, a consulting company for businesses and individuals who understand the value of bringing feng shui into their offices and home spaces. Kate has been a certified feng shui practitioner for over 20 years and her expertise goes beyond homes and offices to include building and land, both locally and globally. She is also a former Vice President for JPMorgan Chase & Company and, before making the transition to follow her dream of building a feng shui practice, Kate had her own management technology consulting business.
