Cate Devaney was raised in Cape Girardeau, MO along the Mississippi River. At University she studied Architecture and began coursework in play writing while also modeling part-time to pay bills. After graduation, Cate moved to NYC where she modeled full-time and continued writing. She landed her first job in the Art Department on HBO's Bored to Death. Through drawing her own concepts, she created a storyboard portfolio that drew the attention of director Scott Derrickson who hired her as his storyboard artist on Sinister. This was the beginning of a long relationship with both Scott and Blumhouse Productions. Throughout her seven-year storyboard career, Cate has worked in television, commercials, and feature films collaborating with many notable writers and directors, including Tommy Schlamme, Alan Taylor, and Akiva Goldsman.
