Making systemic change feel human, hopeful, and doable.
You care about the world — deeply. But you might often feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or alone in your values.
You’re not imagining things: the systems we live in are deeply flawed, and the path to something better often feels confusing or exhausting.
Hi, I’m Katinka. I’m a thinker, designer, and communicator who believes that softness can be powerful — and that changing the world starts with clarity, community, and care.
Who this is for
Whether you’re an individual wondering how to live your values without burning out,
or an organization looking to communicate more clearly, inclusively, and impactfully —
Katinka Cares is here to help.
I work with:
changemakers who want to make their impact sustainable
students and researchers who need tools to reflect on ethics and sustainability
governments and municipalities who want to connect policy to real human (and nonhuman) lives
activists, designers, and educators who are looking for gentle but sharp communication
What drives me
Some of the topics I return to often are:
The global food system and our relationship to animals
Biodiversity and climate collapse, and their colonial-capitalist roots
The emotional side of activism: grief, hope, anger, care
Intersectional approaches to justice and equity
Design as a way to make complex issues accessible, visual, and actionable
These topics matter to me not only intellectually, but because they touch every part of our shared future. I believe in building bridges between research, policy, and emotion. Between design and strategy. Between people and planet.
What I offer
I create:
thoughtful content that helps people think differently
tools and products that help you talk about what matters
workshops, talks, and co-creative processes with institutions
design research for public good
Let’s imagine better futures, and make them possible.
