It all started…
Hi, I’m Kayte!
I was born and raised in Maine, lived in Boston, Los Angeles, Austin, Denver (2 separate times), and Portland (ME), and now, I can be found in St. Petersburg, Florida!
It was a wild ride, filled with some incredible experiences that made me the artist I am today. Let’s break it down…
BOSTON, MA
After college, I ended up in Boston. Tumblr was queen and Instagram had just started. Blogging was all the rage and I was thriving!
I threw myself headfirst into the world of digital marketing. I read every blog post, watched every video, and learned as much as I could about photography and marketing a blog.
During this time, I was also hired as the Community Engagement Lead for Zomato. My days consisted of pitching the app to foodies and bloggers around the city, all while networking and building my own fashion, lifestyle, and music blog on the side.

AUSTIN, TX
One of the wildest, most transformative 3 month stints of my life. Sent it as a full-time artist/ painter.
PORTLAND, ME
Re-discovered who I was. Founded Fete Market. Recovered from photography and event production burn out. Fete was a great, slow-build process that allowed me to cultivate my skills and passions in a way that didn’t feel so intense. I fell in love with photography and fashion again.
Founded WCKD Collective and went full-force into styling and selling. This time period was massive in terms of my growth as a stylist and creative director. It also taught me insurmountable amounts about running a business and what I was/ wasn’t ready for.
Full time social media manager - really pushed myself as a professional both as a freelancer and a full-time employee for CPG brands during this time period. Found my voice and started standing 10 toes down on my worth and what I brought to the table.
Denver, CO

KAYTE DEMONT
Hi! I’m Kayte, an artist and community leader with a passion for marketing and photography. I capture how it feels.
Kayte was born and raised in Maine, lived in Boston, Los Angeles, Austin, Denver, and Portland (ME), and now can be found in St. Pete.
Kayte Demont is a powerhouse creative with a camera in one hand and a killer campaign idea in the other. As a photographer, content creator, experiential producer, and founder of WCKD Collective, Kayte brings a rare blend of artistic vision, brand strategy, and high-vibe hospitality to everything she touches.
A decade into a career that’s taken her from blogging days at Mass Musings to full-scale creative direction, Kayte has carved out a niche as the ultimate visual hype woman - capturing raw, resonant imagery while building immersive experiences that leave lasting impact. Whether she’s behind the lens, behind the scenes, or in front of the mic as a host or personality, her gift lies in making people feel seen - and making ideas feel electric.
Through WCKD Collective, Kayte curates a slow fashion universe rooted in sustainability, individuality, and intention. But her true magic? The way she builds cult-like community around it, through pop-ups, photo-driven activations, open studios, brand storytelling, and events that feel like a love letter to creative living.
Known for blending editorial polish with grassroots energy, Kayte doesn’t just create content, she creates culture. From upcycled fashion campaigns to soulful portraits to experiential marketing events, her work is where strategy meets soul. And whether you’re a brand, a fellow artist, or someone just passing through - if Kayte’s involved, it’s going to be WCKD good.
