Cat Blessing

Cat Blessing brings fourteen years of industry experience to her role as Director of Marketing at HASTINGS. She leads firmwide marketing strategy, with a focus on growing visibility across key market sectors and guiding the pursuit of new design opportunities. Her work supports both business development and long-term relationship-building at the local and national level.

Before joining HASTINGS, Cat spent nearly a decade managing regional marketing for CallisonRTKL (now Arcadis) in Washington, DC. There, she served as a strategist with a market specialty in workplace design—partnering closely with design teams to shape positioning, content, and pursuit strategies that resonated with forward-thinking clients. This foundation informs her approach today, where she continues to champion the value of storytelling and brand clarity across every touchpoint.

Cat is passionate about the connection between creative thinking and strategic structure. She thrives on identifying opportunities where thoughtful planning, strong messaging, and design excellence intersect. Her leadership reflects a belief that marketing isn’t just about promotion—it’s about creating meaningful connections that reflect the firm’s values and culture.

A recent Nashville transplant, Cat can often be found exploring the city with her dog, Pepper, a mini doodle, or tending to her ever-growing collection of houseplants.
