Hi, I’m Katie

I bring together creative thinking, clear communication, and a practical process to help projects move from idea to finished design without unnecessary stress. Clients come to me for thoughtful design support, but they stay because the work feels collaborative, organized, and easy to trust.

Hi, I’m Katie

Katie didn’t just design our brand — she taught us what branding actually means. We came in thinking we had it figured out and left with a logo, a colour palette, and a visual system we genuinely love, plus a much better understanding of why every decision matters. Highly recommend her to any small business that wants to get it right.

What I can help with

From brand identities to reports and physical spaces, I create design that is clear, polished, and built for real use.

Branding & Visual Identity

From a single logo to a complete visual identity system, I help small businesses, non-profits, and municipal projects look credible and consistent wherever they show up.

Logos, colour palettes, typography, brand guidelines, and print materials that help keep your visual identity consistent.

Reports, Proposals & Publications

I turn complex, long-form content into well-designed documents people can actually read — proposals that make an impression, reports that inform, and publications that build trust.

Professional layouts, clear information hierarchy, custom graphics, charts, and production-ready files for print or digital use.

Signs, Events & Physical Spaces

From event banners to exhibit panels to permanent site signage, I design print and physical materials that communicate clearly in any space.

Banners, exhibition panels, signage, wayfinding graphics, and event materials designed to spec and ready for production.

Design Consult

A focused session to diagnose your needs, test ideas and define the most practical next step — ideal when you’re deciding what kind of design support to invest in.

Project diagnostic, scoped recommendations, prioritized next steps and a short action plan.

Strategy & Guidance

Senior-level creative direction and practical guidance to shape visual strategy and production decisions on complex or high‑stakes projects.

RFP reviews, art direction, system gap analysis and stage-by-stage production guidance.

Clear pricing before work begins

Every project is quoted based on scope, timeline, and the level of support required. Before we start, you’ll know what’s included, how payment works, and what to expect.
