ABOUT Katherine
Through traveling and engaging with diverse cultures around the world, I have developed a profound appreciation for digital arts and associated marketing tactics. I find it fascinating how graphic designers use the art of persuasion to promote businesses brands. There seem to be universal commonalities on how to create engaging text and visuals to produce endearing products and services - no matter what the culture. I think it shows how we are connected as human beings.
As a multi-disciplinary graphic designer, I pride myself on delivering creative and engaging solutions through brand identity, print, packaging, and web designs. I believe every customer and their respective brand has a story to tell. These stories inform, delight, and impact their audiences. With my help, I can bring a client’s identity to life and to impart a sense of connection to their brand.
