I help founders and professionals build higher performing businesses by combining rigorous management consulting with evidence based cognitive performance work, bringing clarity, structure, and disciplined execution to both the organization and the operator behind it. I am the founder of Have The Edge, a performance consulting firm built at the intersection of business structure and human performance. As a former KPMG consultant and KPMG trained management consultant with deep roots in behavioural science, business strategy, and cognitive performance coaching, I created the practice to address a gap that most advisory firms leave open. Many methodologies focus on fixing the business while leaving the person running it unchanged. Others focus exclusively on mindset and personal development while ignoring the realities of business execution. In my experience, sustainable success requires both. The result is a dual track approach that combines rigorous operational and strategic consulting with cognitive performance work, creating measurable outcomes at both the organizational and individual level simultaneously. I often describe it this way: it's like a mechanic who also understands the driver, because one without the other only gets you so far. My background includes: • Former C level executive across multiple organizations • Management consulting and advisory experience with KPMG • Founder, business owner, and startup advisor • MBA and CPA designation • Cognitive performance consulting and CBT informed methodology • Former martial arts school owner • Three time Team Canada National Karate Team member and Team Canada coach • Multi placement fitness competitor High performance isn't theory for me. It's lived experience. I've spent decades studying, coaching, competing, consulting, and helping individuals and organizations perform at a higher level. My philosophy is simple. - Clarity precedes execution. - Structure beats motivation. - Performance is a system, not a feeling. If you're looking for clear thinking, strategic insight, structured execution, and accountability that extends beyond the conversation itself, let's talk.

Hi, I’m Kateryna, a brand and web designer working with wellness, beauty, and lifestyle businesses. I design websites that feel refined and easy to navigate, while supporting real business goals like inquiries, bookings, and conversions. My work focuses on the intersection of design and structure, where layout, messaging, and visual direction come together to create a clear, effective user experience. I’ve worked with service-based and wellness-focused brands to refine their visual identity and create a more structured, intentional online presence. Much of my work involves taking something that feels unclear or inconsistent and turning it into a cohesive experience that better reflects the brand and supports client inquiries. What are my areas of expertise? Core: • Brand and Website Design (Showit, Squarespace & Shopify) • Visual Identity (typography, color direction, layout systems) • Website Structure and UX (user flow, hierarchy, clarity) • Social Media Strategy + Management • Copywriting & Content Creation What can you expect when working with me? Clear communication, a structured process, and attention to detail. I take ownership of my work and make sure every project is done properly. I'm dedicated to your project, offer effective and transparent communication, and a unique approach to each individual client's needs. I truly care and want to see your business succeed. What do I look for in a good client? Clear communication, mutual respect, and a shared understanding of the project goals. I work best with clients who communicate clearly, are open to direction and value both the visual and strategic side of their website. Longer-term collaborations are always a plus.
