From Monk to Tech Innovator: How Kate Hankinson is Disrupting the Design Industry with AI
Before launching Fluer, the AI-powered design platform revolutionizing creativity, Kate Hankinson lived a life far removed from tech. As a former monk, she spent years in service-driven communities, working with zero budgets and no modern tools—yet still creating impact.
That experience ingrained in her a lifelong belief: creativity should never be restricted by financial barriers. It’s what led her to build Fluer, a game-changing platform designed to democratize high-quality design, ensuring everyone—from small businesses and nonprofits to startups and solo creators—has access to professional tools without steep costs.
A Mission Forged in Simplicity, Service, and Innovation
During Kate Hankinson's time as a monk, many brilliant ideas went unrealized due to a lack of funds for professional design software in communities.
"I witnessed firsthand how many people had powerful messages but no way to share them visually," says Hankinson. "That experience stuck with me. I knew I wanted to build something that removed financial and technical barriers to creativity."
With that vision, Fluer was born—an AI-powered design platform offering the same professional tools as premium competitors, but without financial strain.
Fluer: The Future of AI-Driven Creativity
Unlike other platforms that keep raising prices, Fluer is built on the belief that design should be for everyone, not just those who can afford costly subscriptions.
- AI-Powered Tools for Every Need – From branding and marketing to HR, finance, and data analysis, Fluer offers an AI-powered toolkit for businesses of all sizes.
- No Overpriced Subscriptions – Unlike competitors that lock users into expensive plans, Fluer offers fair, flexible pricing.
- Simple, Intuitive, and Powerful – Whether they’re a nonprofit raising awareness, a startup launching a brand, or a business scaling operations, Fluer makes it easy to design, market, and plan—without steep learning curves.
"Creativity shouldn’t come with a financial gatekeeper," Hankinson emphasizes. "I built Fluer to be the tool I wished I had when I worked with nothing. Whether you’re designing a marketing campaign or trying to make your brand stand out, you shouldn’t have to break the bank."
From Monastic Life to Tech Leadership: A New Approach to Innovation
While the journey from monk to tech founder might seem unusual, Hankinson sees a clear connection. The same principles that shaped her time in the monastery—service, mindfulness, and problem-solving—now drive Fluer’s mission.
"In the monastery, we worked with what we had—often nothing," she recalls. "That experience taught me that creativity isn’t about having the most expensive tools; it’s about having the right ones. That’s exactly what I want Fluer to be—a platform that makes creativity possible for anyone, anywhere."
Fluer is Changing the Game—One Creator at a Time
Under Hankinson’s leadership, Fluer is rapidly becoming the go-to platform for creators, businesses, and teams worldwide. Whether it’s a grassroots movement, a growing brand, or an individual telling their story, Fluer is empowering users to create, innovate, and succeed—without financial limitations holding them back.
For those who believe creativity should be a right, not a privilege, Fluer is proving that accessible design isn’t just possible—it’s here.
