Hi, I’m Kathryn! I’m a designer, visual storyteller, and branding enthusiast with a BFA in Photography & Expanded Media from the University of Georgia. My work lives at the intersection of art, strategy, and real human connection, blending creative direction with social fluency and a touch of boldness.

My history is a mix of gallery walls, restaurant floors, and going viral on the internet. I've pursued fine art, worked in high-speed service environments (and learned more about people and patience than any text book could ever offer), and produced content that's been seen by millions, like a viral personality quiz that spread across fandom communities around the globe. In every project, the same energy is applied: considered, expressive, and built to connect.

I'm especially drawn to branding and ad work that's layered: beautiful, but clever and strategic. I've interned in branding cultures and worked on B2B clients on CMS platforms, SEO strategy, and narrative. I've also created mock campaigns, social media messaging, and visual identities that resonate with what people actually connect with online. Whether hand-drawn or computer-drawn, I always start with intention.

I'm a firm believer in human-centered design, good typography, and a little bit of humor. I'm someone who wants to do work (and lead a life) that feels rich in color, clear, and personality. Feedback is especially important to me. I love it when the design process is collaborative. And I love it when branding speaks the truth.

So whether it’s creating a campaign, shaping a social feed, or helping a brand find its voice, I’m here to do work I’m proud of, with heart, strategy, and a little bit of audacity.
