CATHERINE S. VODREY, Founder & Designer

Catherine is a one-stop shop: website design, social media management, stellar photography, writing, editing and proofreading services. Since 2017, she’s been an adjunct faculty member at Kent State University, where she teaches writing. In 2019, her KSU students nominated her for the University’s prestigious Outstanding Composition Instructor Award. Her books are available on Amazon.

For eight years, Catherine wrote for the food and cooking section of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Her photographs, essays and recipes have been published in American Heritage, Better Homes & Gardens, RealSimple, Gourmet, and Country Home magazines. She is a contributing author to the Encyclopedia of Appalachia, The Old Farmer's Almanac Favorite Cookies cookbook and various editions of The Oakland Review.

Catherine's food-and-cooking letter, Convivium, was the subject of rave reviews from the Chicago Tribune, The Moscow Times and The Washington Post — which in 1996 named it one of America's ten best culinary newsletters.

She enjoys cooking and baking so much that she once made seven apple pies in five days, trying to perfect the crust. Catherine was also crazy enough to cater her own wedding reception.

Catherine posts regularly on Instagram (@CatherineSVodrey and @AllOutspokenWomen). She is a graduate of Shady Side Academy, Carnegie Mellon University and Duquesne University.
