Katie Lips | BA(Hons) Arts Management
Creative Consultant | www.kiskynetmedia.com | katie@tosoma.org

Katie Lips works with creative mobile technology to devise and deliver new environments, services and systems for audiences and consumers. Her award winning mobile project Treasuremytext blends mobile content with web functionality and offers a space where anyone can save organise and share their SMS messages online. The project also plays with themes such as passive publishing and content voyeurism.
Katie works with fellow designer Paul Stringer as Kisky Netmedia. Kisky works for leading creative clients in the UK, offering Specialist Technology Services across web, video and mobile.


Katie’s work is often playful and often daring, for example publishing private SMS messages online, and creating a peer to peer free ringtone service. Her work as a consultant and as a designer places great importance on the role of the user, recognising that through participatory technology, consumers and audiences can be the content creators, collaboratively creating new environments, services and experiences.


Having studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, Katie went on to study and specialise in Arts Management before focussing in creative technology where she worked for several large agencies as a Producer delivering large scale technology projects, before going on to form Kisky Netmedia.
