Welcome to my space where artistic design meets communication strategy.

Hi! I’m Katie - the wife of a YA author, mama of 3 and owner of this design studio based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Nearly a decade in Corporate Communications and Brand Management brought me to this creative, joy-filled place. I love to use my giftings to help others thrive in theirs. Teaming up with small business and global companies alike have developed my strong Marketing Communications and Brand Management foundation.

Now, I thoughtfully take on 2-3 freelance clients at a time, focusing on quality, strategy-driven design. My current creative work is taking place in the publishing industry with authors, their agents and publicity teams.

For fun I’m in the garden, reading, hanging with my family or helping my mom with our Etsy shop, Citrus and Poppy.

The cool thing about getting older is learning what you’re good at and what you enjoy. I’ll only say yes if I can knock it out of the park.

Do we sound like a good fit? I’m somewhere between building lego with kiddos and my studio space - get in touch and let’s work together.
