Oh hey, I’m Kat!
I’m a Georgia native currently based in Chicago with my dog, Winnie. In my free time, I love discovering new coffee shops and book stores and listening to too much Kacey Musgraves. I am an experienced and results driven art director & designer, especially when it comes to branding, social media, digital advertising, animation, and product design. Hit me up if you like enthusiastic and imaginative ladies who know a lot about ghosts and obscure pop culture references.
