About me

Hello! I'm Kate. I'm a British freelance graphic designer based in Seattle, USA. I work with clients on both sides of the Atlantic – from startups through to global organisations, using design to make the world a better place – whether that be through in-depth reports and annual reviews, integrated marketing campaigns to reach supporters or refreshing a small NGO’s branding to stand out online. I've worked as a part of a team of 2 in a digital agency, as a part of a creative team of 20+ in an international charity and I've been a freelancer since 2019. My experience means I feel just as comfortable working with a one-person startup as I do being brought into work within a large design team. I love any creative challenge but particularly thrive from briefs that are on a mission for good.

Expertise

With over 7 years of experience in the industry, I have worked on a wide range of projects from mini briefs with a tight turnaround to large-scale projects that take place over a couple of months.

When working with me, you can expect:

  • You'll be kept up to date with my progress and have the opportunity to feedback with your ideas as we go.

  • People that know me well often describe me as Monica from the TV show Friends. Whilst this sadly doesn't reflect the cleanliness of my house (for which I mainly blame my golden retriever Moose) it does reflect my attention to detail and organisational prowess.

  • As a business owner and with clients in the corporate and charity sector, I understand how essential it is that work is delivered on time. The bonus of working with a freelancer is I have the opportunity to be flexible when it is crucial for your business and I always strive to meet those unexpected needs wherever possible.

  • The benefit of an experienced freelancer is that you receive a tailored 1-1 service without the huge agency fees. You'll always be dealing with me directly – I love to get to know my clients and I've found this personal approach transforms work into fun and clients into friends.

My clients

I've worked with large marketing teams of 20+ people, solo entrepreneurs, brands, and international charities. For some of my clients, I'm an addition to their established team where I support and provide consultancy to their in-house designers, for others, I'm their go-to for all things design as and when they need something fresh.
