Hi there! I’m Katharine, a graphic designer who specialises in brand identity and illustration, while also dipping my toes into the copywriting and packaging world.
Story-telling is an important part of my practice and I enjoy working on briefs that allow me to develop an in-depth visual narrative.
Another important part of my practice includes being able to work on projects that help to create awareness for social issues.
Projects
- SageI set myself the challenge of creating the concept and the brand identity for a natural, zero waste skincare company called Sage. I created a clean and simple brand identity for Sage that incorporated a wordmark as the logo. This logo featured small leaf details to refer back to the natural element of the brand. When I created the labels for the packaging, I used 100% recycled Arjowiggins paper that featured flecks of peach and gold.
- Sexpress YourselfI created the campaign ‘Sexpress Yourself’ to help break down the stigmas surrounding sex and to encourage young women to speak openly and honestly about their experiences. Part of this campaign involved a series of workshops where women, prompted by a set of topic cards, could voice their questions, fears and desires.
