Hi, I'm Katie! I'm a multidisciplinary designer who helps translate complex ideas in tech, pharma, and branding into clear, compelling visual systems. With nearly a decade of experience, I've managed up to 40 concurrent website projects at PlanetDDS and developed compliant marketing graphics for major brands like Medscape and Pepsi. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and pixel-perfect execution, whether I'm building a brand identity from scratch or enhancing an established system. At my core, I believe the most effective design creates a genuine human connection. I approach every project with strategic empathy, starting with deep immersion to understand both the brand's goals and the audience's needs. My background in psychology fuels this human-centered focus, ensuring the final work isn't just visually stunning but truly resonates. I'm a collaborative partner who values clear communication and am currently looking for new opportunities where I can bring this versatile, results-oriented approach to a forward-thinking team.
