Hi, I'm Katie, a graphic designer and art director based in the Twin Cities.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and art director with 14+ years of experience helping clients connect with their audiences through thoughtful, strategic, and impactful visual design. I take a digital-first, human-centered approach—crafting work that’s clear, engaging, and never short on personality.

​

My background spans in-house brand/marketing teams and agency environments, with strengths in creative problem-solving, layout and organization, communication, technical proficiency and leveraging design as a strategic tool. I bring structure and style to every project, combining clean layouts and smart organization with a resourceful, collaborative mindset.

​

Over the years, I’ve come to value the mix of strategy and purposeful play—trusting the process, embracing third tries, and always keeping a solid grid system close at hand.

​

Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me playing pinball, exploring art spaces, at a rock show, lost with my nose in a book, making silly crafts, and finding creative inspiration from unexpected places.
