hi i'm katie
your leading lady

Founded on a love of beautiful aesthetics and fueled by a desire to make a difference in the world through design, the studio was established in pursuit of fulfilling my purpose and dream as a business owner. I am so grateful to be able to do what I love every single day and I want to empower my clients to do the same.

My work is derived from over 8 years of industry experience combined with extensive formal education with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in graphic design and web development. Instilled with experience from several agencies from all over the world, stepping out to create my own studio was a natural progression and one I’ve not looked back from.

I bring my passion and invest in every client I work with and treat each business as if it were my own. My goal is to uplift and collaborate with my clients to define their core essence and then translate it into a brand with stunning visuals, and adaptable assets. I am open to all brands, but I especially hope to attract businesses that help humanity and Mother Earth. When I’m not sitting at my Mac, you can find me practicing meditation and journaling, in the ocean surfing, or playing ball with my dog.
