Our story

We chose our kind of different. Now we help brands find theirs.

Our story started in 2014 with Kate and Sabba - two creatives who decided early on that blending in was never going to be the plan.

In a world where safe was always the right answer and agencies definitely didn't picture two young women with bold ideas (yes, that was 2014) - we weren't always taken seriously. Until the work spoke for itself. Then the skeptics became our biggest fans.

So we doubled down on exactly what made us different. And built Heels Make Deals to prove one thing: your "different" isn't a problem to manage. It's exactly the reason people care.

Eleven years and 100+ brands later, that belief is still running everything we do. Because a brand that knows exactly what it is - and commits to it completely - is one of the most valuable things a business can own.

Meet the founders

Kate

Project name

Katerina Horka

Co-founder + Creative Director

Kate connects her lifelong passion for design with an endless curiosity for human behaviour - brand strategy is where she found a home for both.

In the studio, she's the one who goes deep on brand strategy and creatively guides the team and projects from first insight to the last pixel - making sure it all feels exactly right.

Aside from building brands, she's the yes-girl to any travel plan and finds inspiration in everything life has to offer. Not a small-talk person, but most likely will say something you'll remember long after the meeting.

Sabba

Project name

Sabina Samuel

Co-founder + Business Development

Sabba has always been a visual artist at heart. Together with Kate, she pitched for - and won - their first major client before either of them had graduated, just as her first daughter was born. That mix of ambition, independence and making it all work helped shape the spirit of HEELS MAKE DEALS.

Today, she leads client relationships and business development, connecting the studio with the right people and opportunities while keeping the creative vision sharp.

Outside the studio, she loves contrast - quiet nature and busy cities in equal measure. Her two daughters come first, fairness matters deeply to her, and good food and a cold beer are hard to beat. She’s also a board member at the Young Talents Foundation.

The team that makes it happen.

We're a team of talented designers, strategists, copywriters and other creative magicians - always pushing the limits of what a brand can be. We stay hands-on from the first idea to final execution, because we care about the result as much as you do.

We're always on the lookout for A-players who know their craft and actually deliver. If that's you - say hi.
