Hi! I’m Katherine Pericas Geertsen, a graphic designer based in Orlando, Florida. My interests are packaging, branding, and editorial work. A big part of my process involves researching cultural and historical cues and using them to shape the direction and tone of my designs. I’m especially drawn to projects that let me experiment with hierarchy and guide how someone moves through information. I focus on connecting concept and visuals in ways that feel thoughtful and intentional. My approach to tackling projects is collaborative and curious; I enjoy exploring possibilities with others and staying open to new perspectives and ideas.
