Hello! My name is Katie and I am an artist and designer from Los Angeles, where I currently live and work. In the Summer of 2017 I received my undergraduate degree in Art + Technology and Art History from the University of Oregon's College of Design. My artistic studies were divided between digital illustration and communication design. My art history focuses were in Modern Art, Surrealism, and the Art and Architecture of Ancient Greece.
My practice is based on a fine art foundation, which helped me transition into the digital realm. My design aesthetic relies on a conceptual transparency that reveals the presence of an artist working from a gestural line or an initial sketch. Every illustration, typeface, or graphic I design is informed by a desire to maintain an artisanal quality, while still utilizing the refining technology of digital design programs. I think all that really means is that I don’t want anyone to forget that when we look around at the world and see the overwhelming amount of art that fills our lives, no matter how seemingly sophisticated, average, or obscure, that there is an artist behind those designs and choices. And that artist matters!
So, enjoy! Take a look around! and feel free to reach out with ideas, needs, or just to say hello.
