Hi, I’m Kate—a designer, art director, and creative leader with over a decade of experience in corporate and global brand design. I earned my B.A. in Graphic Design, with a minor in Photography, from Lynchburg College in Virginia in 2012.

Currently, I serve as Brand and Creative Manager for a global IT staffing and services organization, where I lead a team responsible for concepting, developing, and scaling creative across a global brand ecosystem. Together, we drive cohesive, high-impact visual storytelling across campaigns, digital experiences, and strategic initiatives.

Prior to this role, I was a Senior Design Manager supporting Global Marketing for an international alcohol brand. There, I specialized in packaging design, integrated marketing campaigns, and brand identity—bringing products and stories to life through thoughtful, consumer-driven design.

I am deeply passionate about the intersection of design and illustration, and I leverage both disciplines to craft distinctive, effective visual solutions. With a strong eye for typography and detail, I strive to create work that is not only aesthetically compelling but also purposeful, strategic, and memorable.
