HI I’M KATE, a graphic designer currently based in Dublin Ireland, originally from the Bay Area California.
I love to use design to communicate stories. As a multidisciplinary designer who works across branding, packaging, advertising and copywriting; I’ve learned that diversity is what makes my job amazing! I pride myself on the ability to take projects from the concept stage through to final production, and I’m always looking for a new challenge to encourage me to grow as a designer.
