We often get the question, ‘How did you come up with the name Three Fishes?’
Kate is the youngest of three girls and as a child, her “Greatie” (Great Grandmother) intertwined drawings of three fish to represent the three girls. This was a strong memory for Kate and even though her sketches never made it to a logo stage for the company, her Greatie was the inspiration behind the name and logo.
