We had the good fortune of connecting with Katherine Osborne and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Katherine, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I’m originally from Singapore and grew up there for 11 years before moving to the United States. Growing up as a third-culture kid, I moved three times across Asia before the age of 16. I spent many of my developmental years in foreign cultures and international school systems. These opportunities taught me how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I learned to embrace challenges or unfamiliar situations as opportunities for growth and learning, which is one of the hardest obstacles in entrepreneurship.

My background and upbringing made me more independent, communicative, and adaptive to change. I’m able to utilize my interpersonal skills to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, empathize with different perspectives, and understand complex situations. I’m truly appreciative of all the experiences I’ve had that have made me who I am today!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Social Design Agency is a female-owned boutique marketing agency based in Dallas, Texas. At Social Design Agency, our all-in-one marketing agency covers the services necessary for clients to enhance their brand and achieve their goals. We spare our clients the complexity of dealing with multiple vendors and consolidate all marketing endeavors seamlessly under one roof.

Our approach to digital success is data-driven, customer-centric, and always bespoke to a brand’s precise needs and goals. We are most proud of our luxury services and quality of content, as we achieve so much with remarkable efficiency by our lean team.

Social Design Agency has gotten to where it is today because of its talented and dedicated employees. It is never easy starting a business in an oversaturated field, and our biggest challenge was setting ourselves apart from all the existing marketing agencies in Dallas, Texas. With our branding, an extensive list of services, luxury content, and statistical results, we’ve effectively established our agency and are excited about the opportunities that await us!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite area in Dallas is Knox Henderson! There are so many cafes, restaurants, stores, and fitness studios to keep yourself entertained. I love SESSION Pilates, followed by a coffee at Fairgrounds or Beverlys, and shopping at local stores. Also, tanning by the pool and walking the Katy Trail with my dog is a huge part of my daily routine.

In terms of eating out, I’ve always been a foodie and love trying new restaurants! My current favorites are Maison Chinoise, Mister Charles, R+D Kitchen, and Monarch. At nighttime, you’ll find me in a lounge with good music, such as Lounge 31 or Columbian Country Club.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

Without a doubt, I would not be where I am today without the support, inspiration, and encouragement of others. As a female-owned and operated business, I’d like to give credit and recognition to other female entrepreneurs, such as Aimee Smale and Molly-Mae Hague. Since I was a teenager, I have followed these incredible women along their journey and taken inspiration from their creativity and dedication. Smale and Hague completely uprooted themselves from their previous careers and transitioned to creating their businesses. Fast forward a few years, and Odd Muse and Filter By Molly-Mae are now worth over 5 million dollars.
