hello. 

My name is Katie. I am a graphic designer living near Cleveland, Ohio. I am a graduate from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. As a designer, I have always had a soft spot for branding. The challenge of taking a company’s unique values and offerings and finding a way to communicate them in a visually compelling way truly captures my interest. I love the process of problem solving and figuring out how to fabricate a cohesive string of elements. 

I believe in taking a minimal, clean approach with design. Each element is thought out and has a reason. We live in a world where attention spans are often short and competition is high. Design that is simple and to the point can communicate more quickly and survive in such a world while also creating lasting impressions. 

When I am not designing, I love everything about the outdoors - particularly hiking, mountain biking, working with my formerly wild mustang, and trying not to get sunburnt.
