the short of it
I'm Kat. I like making beautiful things. Adobe Illustrator is my favorite, followed closely by Photoshop. I can make awesome layouts on paper and in spaces. I have 8 years of professional experience and a BFA in Visual Communications. I also really like themed parties, Harry Potter and lots and lots of coffee.

I graduated cum laude from Ball State University with a BFA in Visual Communications and minors in Art History and Painting. I'm eight years out of school and at my second long-term place of employment and I enjoy freelancing on the side. I attended HOW Design conference in San Francisco, and Photoshop World in Las Vegas, and regularly follow a variety of design and inspiration sites. When I'm not gardening, working or entertaining my dog and two cats, I'm probably planning a themed party of some sort which is guaranteed to be full of fantastic details and costumes.
have a look around, and contact me for more samples, references, or freelance rates.
