It's not about decoration.
Design is not about decoration or making things pretty. Good design helps you tell your story effectively by bringing form and structure to your content. My clients are organizations and people who believe in the power design has to create memorable connections with their audiences.
How I work
Every project has unique requirements and begins with lots of questions. I take the time to learn all I can about your organization, your audience, and your specific goals for the project.
My approach is always user-focused, which means I put a lot of research and creative energy into each project to arrive at the best solution.
My specialty is working with advocacy and research organizations focusing on community development, civic engagement, and similar issues. I also work with small businesses, artists, and performers. My services include...
- Custom website design & development
- Annual reports and monographs. I specialize in designing long publications for production across media—print and intereactive (ePub, Kindle, interactive PDF, web, etc...)
- Book jackets and interiors. Text and trade books, museum catalogs, illustrated books.
- Print marketing collateral
- Brochures, invitations, programs, and more.
- WordPress CMS implementation
- Project management
About me
Hi, I'm Kathleen. I launched my design studio in 2001 after working as a graphic designer and art director for several years. Over the years, I have worked on a wide variety of projects, both print and web. I enjoy working independently because it gives me the flexibility to fit into any team, and at the same time allows me to jump into a project with minimal fuss.
In addition to my design work, I am also a nationally-exhibiting fine artist, and a runner.
